Yes, I also had this hanging problem. I thought it was something wrong
with my setup, so didn't mention it. Essentially, I use Kpym,
http://www.kpym.com/en/Overview.htm, to ssh into the windows box.
Then I run msys's bash from the cmd shell.
When I run 'make check' it effects my terminal somehow cause it seems
to resize. Then I kill it with ^c, and the terminal is in an odd state.
I have to kill it and start over.
I thought maybe 'make check' was writing some bad data to stdout, which
the terminal was receiving, but, when I did 'make check > out.txt 2>&1'
it didn't help. So, this could be the same problem...

This was definately lost. What is the exact command that you need to be
run to generate the .coff file? If you tell us this, we can probably
have automake do this for you automatically.
