Are you sure that a the fact that an unreleased architecture that is
known to be *slow* has trouble finishing a test that also takes a while
on faster architectures rectifies a bug severity important?  I'd say
give this slow machine a bit more time.  Its *totally* useless to run
clonalorigin on this outdated architecture and I'm tempted to set this
wontfix.

Thanks for watching build results in general anyway

       Andreas.
