Are you using the line written on stdout to determine what test is
running? IIRC that uses the 'progress_bar' code which is designed to
'debounce' the output. (It only updates the screen every 200ms or so.)
Since the test that is passing is only taking 49ms, and I would imagine
the next few tests are also probably fast, that in the end it is still
  test_http.TestAuth.test_wrong_pass(pycurl,HTTP/1.1,basicdigest)
which is hanging, it just didn't update the screen first.
