Thank you very much for looking into it!  I don't run any autobuilders
myself, just keep track of which packages show up on amd64 vs. i386.  As
such, I have no details beyond what you can find at

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=monotone&suite=sid

and the logs to which it links, which reveal hangs on several Linux
architectures (including i386) and a portability issue on the Hurd
(which doesn't define MAXPATHLEN; that's an independent matter, though).

At any rate, the Linux logs reveal that the (presumed) hang in question
occurs early on, perhaps as a result of attempting to make check in
parallel:

I hope that helps narrow down the problem; if not, you may need to
arrange for Debian builds to log details of potential interest or get in
touch with the porters at (for instance) address@hidden
