Re: [Monotone-debian] Bug#623734: monotone: FTBFS: test suite timeout

Since it only happens with -jn, this is pretty clearly a bug in make.
While we could try to find a work-around, I don't see the point.

Just disable parallel builds in the Debian package, and in any other
official distribution where it is an issue.

It would be good to file a bug against make if we could find a small
reproducer.
