Comment:

 This patch doesn't help s diagnose the issue.

 It happened on the master PR at:
 https://ci.appveyor.com/project/teor2345/tor/builds/23616223/job/jpvxrbivq2wb3ueg

 "make test" passes, but "make check" hangs. So maybe we are looking for
 another culprit?

 Can we make tests print a message when they start, as well as when they
 end?
 Can we terminate all the tests if they hang, and see what output we get?
 (Does timelimit work on Windows?)
