   I'm confused: I don't see anything about shells or make check hanging
   in doc/FAQ_HPUX.  There is clear instruction to use GNU make, which I
   am doing.
   
   I'll look into the problem anyway.

   No ... I was hoping for that, but not.

   Hm, I thought I had updated that before beta6.  What it has now is
   
   The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
   when run under HP's default Bourne shell, at least in HPUX 10.20.  This
   appears to be a shell bug, not the fault of the script.  If you see that
   the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell process is
   consuming CPU, kill the shell and start over with
   	gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
   to use ksh instead.
