Not quite see below...

Hmmm, I don't see the wall clock message in the current log: 
http://tinyurl.com/32dj3t

On my old-ish laptop this takes 46s to run, and uses 3Mb of memory.

Ah now wait, the gcc-4.2.1_linux_x86_64 results do display the "wall clock" 
timeout message, but not the gcc-3.4.6_linux_x86_64 results.

Likewise the test_igamma_inva_real_concept has the wall clock timeout for 
gcc-4.2.1_linux_x86_64  but not for gcc-3.4.6_linux_x86_64.

Again on my laptop, this one takes 37s to run and uses ~3Mb memory.

HTH, John.
