So if I read that output correctly, it seems that the second
test in qht-par never completes.

Enabling gprof and gcov (as in that build) should just lower
the throughput of the benchmark (test-qht-par invokes qht-bench),
but the duration should be the same (1 second per test, so no need
to wait for 10 minutes).

Can you try re-running the test, after applying the appended patch?
(It disables the "resize" thread.)

Also, does it reliably hang on Travis, or are these hangs
intermittent?

Thanks,
