David,

The test should (eventually) time out and fail.  If you look through the
note you posted in response to Francois' request, you will note that the
last line says: "Test timeout computed to be: 1500".  That is the time in
seconds the test is allowed to run before it is killed and an error
declared.  If 1500 seconds is too long, you can change the value in your
CMakeCache.txt file to set it lower.
