As a side note, it works well with a debug build but fails using a non
debug build. I did not check the code to see how it works, but what do
you use to call the tests and manage the timeouts?

As an example of, you can use my cmake scripts (my first try :) from here:

http://cvs.php.net/gd/libgd/

See README.TESTING for the available options.

It works when you build the libgd and then test but the timeout does
not work when it is used against an external (non debug build)
version.
