Yeah, like I wrote earlier, this test takes a lot of time, and so,
depending on the machine, it might take longer than the
max-silent-timeout.  Not great.

I’d rather not disable tests just because they take a long time.

An obvious workaround would be to have the test machinery display some
sort of progress report or really anything that shows it’s still “doing
something” so that we don’t hit max-silent-timeout.

Do you know if the build system or CTest has a flag that would make it
more verbose?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
