Yes and no.  :)  'bzr selftest test_http' stalls on my jaunty machine.

This was true for bzr 1.15 and remains true for bzr 1.16.

The stalls are always in the same place(s).  I posted details to the list a
few days ago.

The first place is test_http.TestActivity.test_get(urllib,https,HTTP/1.0)

So the test_http does not fail in the usual sense.  It fails by just not
finishing.

The exact sequence was

COLUMNS=195
export COLUMNS
bzr selftest http_test -v >> results_001.txt

and the prompt for an ssh password appeared on the console (which should be
receiving only stderr, unless selftest is manipulating the tty directly!)
and is not echoes in the file receiving stdout.

As I mentioned, attempts to reproduce by repeating exactly the same steps
have failed.  But that does nto surprise me too much, since a stalled
selftest could have left all kinds of artifacts in temp directories.  So I
think I need to do some cleanup, maybe uninstall and reinstall 1.16 from
PPA, and try again.

File this under "strange but maybe a clue to something"
