./configure hanging at 'checking for C# program execution engine...'

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi!  This has now happened on two machines (one debian sarge and one
debian testing, both x86) so I thought I should report it.

Running ./configure is stuck inside gettext-tools/:

checking for Java virtual machine... gij
checking for Java compiler... javac -target 1.5 -source 1.3
checking for jar... jar
checking for preferred C# implementation... any
checking for C# compiler... cscc
checking for C# program execution engine... 

The process hanging is:

jas       8110  0.0  0.3   8700  4840 pts/6    S+   14:06   0:00 ilrun 
./m4/csharpexec-test.exe

Strace shows:

mocca:/home/jas# strace -p 8110
Process 8110 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x814a644, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL

Any ideas?

If I kill the process, configure proceeds with:

checking for C# program execution engine... Terminated
mono

And everything seems to work, although I haven't tested the C# parts of
gettext.
