I've also seen hangs like this when there's an error in the http
server thread, possibly caused by a missing python library.  Obviously
(if this theory is true) it's a bug that we don't make the error
visible, a bug it doesn't just cause the test to fail, and a bug that
the dependency is not properly handled.
