I've found the underlying problem!  There was an "int64" typedef that 
was intended to contain 64-bit integers, but was defined using "long", 
which is only 32 bits on 32-bit architectures.  The resulting overflow 
was causing an infinite loop during this test.

I've added a patch that fixes the issue [1].  I'll forward it upstream 
and also prepare a new package for Debian soon.
