By running pjl with the --echo option I discovered that the problem is 
caused by the graph/dominator_tree_test outputting enough repetitions of 
   2147483647 to fill an over 400,000 character long line!

I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be normal behaviour or it just 
happens because the test was timed out.
