Well, we've been trying to hide that problem, and so far, you're the
first person to complain. That's actually been happening for a while,
and we're really not sure what's going on. We've narrowed down /where/
it's happening but not /why/. I doubt it has anything to do with
setting your own install directory.

Just rerun 'make test'. The lock happens randomly, but usually not
multiple times in a row. We've also never seen this lock happen in any
running applications. If it's happening to you every time, please let
me know.

Thanks,
Tom
