| I disagree here. When a user does "make check" in gettext, I don't
| want to clog his machine for longer than necessary. Also, he is more
| likely to report a FAILed test rather than a 3-hours test, because he
| doesn't know a priori which tests are supposed to take a while (e.g.
| test-getaddrinfo) and which are not.
|
| May I add the 'signal (SIGALRM, SIG_DFL);' also in the 3 tests?
I don't think it's necessary given argument a, but I am also not opposed
to such a change. Go ahead and make the change if you feel better about
it that way.
