You might want to try running tests/test_vmcircbuf under gdb and see
what happens.

I suspect that you'll see that its getting a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS from
some place below test_factory even though there are properly installed
signal handlers. 


See gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime/gr_local_sighandler.{h,cc} for the signal 
handing code.
gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime/gr_vmcircbuf.cc sets up the sighandlers here:


bool
gr_vmcircbuf_sysconfig::test_factory (gr_vmcircbuf_factory *f, int verbose)
{
  // Install local signal handlers for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.
  // If something goes wrong, these signals may be invoked.
  
  gr_local_sighandler sigsegv (SIGSEGV, gr_local_sighandler::throw_signal);
  gr_local_sighandler sigbus (SIGBUS, gr_local_sighandler::throw_signal);

  try {
    return standard_tests (f, verbose);
  }
  catch (gr_signal &sig){
    if (verbose){
      fprintf (stderr, "....... %s: %s", f->name (), "Failed\n");
      fprintf (stderr,
               "gr_vmcircbuf_factory::test_factory (%s): caught %s\n",
               f->name (), sig.name().c_str());
      return false;
    }
  }
  catch (...){
    if (verbose){
      fprintf (stderr, "....... %s: %s", f->name (), "Failed\n");
      fprintf (stderr,
               "gr_vmcircbuf_factory::test_factory (%s): some kind of uncaught 
exception\n",
               f->name ());
    }
    return false;
  }
}
