I've just updated my master repo.  It built OK, and on running make
check, two erc test files hung.  After killing them (after ~2 minutes run
time), I got the following display on my terminal:

SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS
-----------------------
Files examined: 518
Ran 7858 tests, 28 failed to run, 7659 results as expected, 1 unexpected,
198 skipped
2 files did not finish:
  lisp/eshell/esh-proc-tests.log
  lisp/eshell/esh-ext-tests.log
1 files contained unexpected results:
  lisp/minibuffer-tests.log

I got basically the same on running make check in one of my other repos
which I'd just updated.  So the problem appears to be reproducible for
me.
