autotest testsuite hangs, help!

[johnwohlbier]

I have a testsuite hanging and for the life of me I can't figure out what  
is going on. For some sub-libraries within my project autotest works fine.  
For other sub-libraries it hangs. The libraries share common local.at and  
atconfig files, etc. In fact the Makefile.am's for the different  
sub-libraries are made by the same bootstrap script, which also copies the  
same local.at into the different locations. So it almost feels like the  
*source code* for the different sub-libraries is the culprit, even though  
that sounds crazy.

The hang looks like this:

address@hidden test]$ make check
make check-local
make[1]: Entering directory  
`/home/wohlbier/pika_relay/branches/build-branch/build/lib/pika_utilities/test'
/usr/bin/autom4te --language=autotest  
-I '/home/wohlbier/pika_relay/branches/build-branch/src/pika_utilities/test'  
-o testsuite.tmp testsuite.at
mv testsuite.tmp testsuite
/bin/sh 'testsuite'
## ------------------------------------------ ##
## pika_utilities test suite: pika_utilities. ##
## ------------------------------------------ ##

Running ./testsuite -v gives the same thing. I've shrunk the testsuite.at  
to call only one test, and again the test is a macro that works within  
other sublibraries!

At this point I think I'm looking for recommendations on how to debug this.  
I can provide any information that is needed. Thanks.
