Ah ha!  So I ran the test again via launchctl (OS X's cron) and it repros now.  I attached with gdb and paused the process every once in a while, the common part of the backtrace is always:

After Tk_MeasureChars() it's always different, but generally the function names look like font/glyph stuff.

Does this ring any bells to anyone? 

If I let it continue, it seems to still pass, slowly, ex 900 seconds.

I also tried bypassing ctest and running the process directly, and that changes nothing (still runs super slowly via launchctl, and not otherwise).

All my buildbots do parallel testing, but Rogue11 will run one test at a time tonight, as a test...

Cheers,
