[csw-maintainers] what is different on buildfarm? mercurial tests take long - or fail

[rupert THURNER]

while testing mercurial-1.4.2 i noticed that the tests take long - or
forever on build8s. and they fail with network errors on build10s.

as i did not have time to wait if they end at 8s, i breaked them and i
tried 1.4.1 as well, which also did not complete in a reasonable time.

so i wonder what might cause this. the new python? the new ipv6? something else?


here the output of a "ps" while waiting for something to happen:
