Re: pma test hangs on MacOS

[arnold]

Hi.

Thanks for the report. This is pretty strange, as on my Intel macbook
pro, also running Monterey, it works just fine!

Please send me the ouptut of build-aux/config.guess; I will disable
pma on ARM macbooks until Terrence Kelly can look into this.

Thanks for the details attachments, I'm sure they'll be helpful.
