Has anyone else had trouble with "cabal test" diverging?

I've been running into this issue with cabal 0.10.2, but ONLY in
conjunction with GHC 6.12.3. It's hard to make a small reproducer for
(and therefore I haven't filed a bug yet), but you can see the below
Jenkins run stalled for 2.5 days, whereas it should take minutes:
http://tester-lin.soic.indiana.edu:8080/job/monad-par_github_master/JENKINS_GHC=ghc-6.12.3/17/console
Note that it *doesn't* burn CPU -- it deadlocks rather than spins.
I replaced "cabal test" with a direct call to the test executable and
I haven't seen this problem since.
