Unfortunately not, I'm still having the same problem. I'll try again 
with a printf to verify the state of is isgui just to be sure.

It really looks to me like it is consuming some finite system resource. 
As I mentioned before the test will hang at the call to QApplication. 
What I have now discovered however, is that if I close another GUI 
application (Firefox or Emacs) then the test will continue and make it 
through another cycle, i.e.:

1. test hangs at iteration 991
2. close Firefox
3. test finishes iteration 991 and now hangs at 992.

Are we sure that we are closing the QApplication properly?
