Thats excellent, David!  Kudos and thanks to you and everyone else who enhanced the test suite: Justin, Alberto, Mihael, and everyone else who added tests! The HTML output looks great.

Cool.

Can we also add a test to re-produce the current 0.93 Java deadlock? If you can create a simpler test case that exhibits the problem, then Mihael can use it when he goes after this bug.

Papia, can you distill the failing script down to something that can more readily be done in the test suite? I.e. something that runs on localhost, doesnt use Octave, and has trivial built-in files? Then put it in a shell script loop and see if we can make it deadlock (ie, cause the hang-checker to go off)?

Thanks,
