When running make check on the latest version of the RTT 1.6 branch, core test
fails with this output

Changing directory into /kgad/SVN/rtt-1.6/builddistcc/tests
1/ 8 Testing core-test
Test command: /kgad/SVN/rtt-1.6/builddistcc/tests/core-test
Test timeout computed to be: 9.99988e+06
..................5.189 [CRITICAL][PeriodicThread::start] The ORThread thread

5.240 [CRITICAL][PeriodicThread::start] The ORThread thread seems to be blocked
( ret was -1 .)

The test hangs.

I didn't dig much deeper yet, but I've verified the make check with RTT 1.8 SVN
on the same machine with the same orocos configuration (basically plain
gnulinux/debug on/nocorba), and there everything goes fine.

Let the git bisect fans begin ;-)
