DBI v. 1.4.1 make test hangs on Solaris

[Erin O'Neill]

When I run "make test" for DBI v. 1.4.1 it hangs the Sun UNIX machine. I 
run top and watch perl take up CPU cycles and then let them go and take 
them up again. Nothing else can be done on the machine during this test. 
After 30 minutes I <ctrl> c out. Am I just giving up too early? Can I still 
install it or is there a fatal flaw in my build?

I've searched the DBI FAQ and used google to see if anyone else is seeing 
this. Not with this version ....

thanks.
