I've been running into this issue with cabal 0.10.2, but ONLY in conjunction with GHC 6.12.3. It's hard to make a small reproducer for (and therefore I haven't filed a bug yet), but you can see the below Jenkins run stalled for 2.5 days, whereas it should take minutes:

I replaced "cabal test" with a direct call to the test executable and I haven't seen this problem since. -Ryan _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
