Hi,

	I'm hoping you are seeing as a hang is just an unfortunate current
ordering of test cases.  For me, the tests run and 29 of 32 pass.  It is
currently running dispatch_select as the first test, which is perhaps a bad
choice.  The sub test "kevent read 1" of dispatch_select takes about 90
seconds with no output for me, so the test may appear to be hanging.  Be
patient ;)

This is a great question (but for someone who knows more about
corelibs-foundation than me....).  I think libdispatch on Linux is getting
close to being ready for this next step.
