OK, that suggests that it's not an ordinary timeout problem.  I have
encountered your symptoms on an ordinary machine, when I started the
test suite from a user unprivileged to do prompt-less sudo.  Then the
"sudo stpd" child of systemtap would wait for a password, and never
get it (since dejagnu/expect never sends one).
