That's a strange part. "Too Long". Possibly instead of too long there 
are kaffe problems, threading problems or some other incompatibility. A 
timeout could be at max too short, IMHO.

Maybe the easiest way for now would be to set a default value, and I 
would suggest 360 seconds, and then set a configure option.

Or even better, a runtime option at make time like

make check timeout=360

I think that would ease checking with different timeouts without 
reconfiguring everything...
