on which compiler and math library versions you use.
Any other error is cause for suspicion.

+The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
+on PA-RISC when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and
+/sbin/sh. To fix this problem, you will need PHCO_30269 with its
+dependent patch or successor patches:
+
+ PHCO_30269 s700_800 cumulative sh-posix(1) patch
+ PHCO_29816 s700_800 rc(1M) scripts cumulative patch
+
+To work around this problem, use ksh to run the regression script:
+
+ gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check
+
+If you see that the tests have stopped making progress and only a shell
+process is consuming CPU, kill the shell process and start over with the
+above command.
