I recall once trying to run the testsuite on OpenSolaris
(several years ago, maybe 2008.11, though I don't really
recall exactly), and running into lots and lots of timeouts.
I think it had something to do with gdb + expect + dejagnu not
agreeing over end lines, \r\n vs \n, etc.  ISTR trying to
work around it with stty settings.  

I'm having trouble finding the email in the archives, though.
