 That is more than enough. Remember there are two timeout values. I think
 if you set just SAGE_TIMEOUT to 20000 seconds, but leave SAGE_TIMEOUT_LONG
 at the default 1800 seconds, then the long tests will just use 1800
 seconds.

 had to be restarted).

 I can build Sage and doctest it on a Sun Blade 1000 which has only 2 GB
 RAM.

 > It could be because of the way I installed Sage (downloaded binary 4.5.1
 package, updated the spkgs and could have used an old gcc at some point
 because the default one on the system is 3.4.something even if 4.something
 is available).

 That indeed would screw it up. We should run the 'prereq' script every
 time we run 'make' as that will stop some instances of people mess up, but
 I think installing individual packages with {{{sage -f foobar}}}, will be
 difficult to detect problems like a wrong gcc.

 now.

 It will take a long time on a blade 1500, so I suggest you start it asap.
