#2520 test case main-3.1 hangs displaying to Exceed x server

[Larry W. Virden]

tcl/tk 8.5.4 release code, compiled on sparc solaris 8 and displaying back to windows xp sp 3 and hummingbird exceed 10.0.0.12.

When the test suite reaches main.test, it comes to a halt. After waiting a couple of minutes, I end up having to kill the process to get the code to continue the test suite.

This test was expecting:
main.test

==== main-3.1 Tk_ParseArgv: -help option FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

# Run only on unix as Win32 pops up native dialog
list [catch {exec [interpreter] -help} msg] $msg

---- Result was:
1 {% % child killed: software termination signal}
---- Result should have been (glob matching):
1 {% Application initialization failed: Command-specific options:*}
==== main-3.1 FAILED

The child killed was, as I mentioned above, because I killed it after waiting for a long time.
