Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:43 jhpalmieri]:
 > On the one hand, that's true.  On the other, we were only hitting this
 problem on one or two platforms.  So it might be a bug in some component
 of Sage (like GLPK?), but it might be something out of our control
 entirely.

 Nothing is out of my control... ;-)

 I mean we should try to find the reason. If it's outside of Sage, fine,
 and we can at least document it, whether it lies in GLPK or some
 OS/compiler specifics.

 And the "failing" doctest, i.e. the behavior after timing out, in addition
 shows (again) that something's wrong with the doctesting framework, to
 also be addressed on another ticket.

 > So a work-around seems like an acceptable solution right now.

 I'm ok with merging this work-around at this moment.


 > Have you tried setting the number of vertices higher on other machines,
 to try to replicate the issue elsewhere?  I just tried with 40 instead of
 30 on sage.math, and it worked just fine.  50 vertices took a while, but
 it finished, too.

 Not yet, currently trying to track this issue (with 30 vertices) further
 down.

 Please cc me if anyone opens a follow-up.
