See doc/FAQ_HPUX:

: The parallel regression test script (gmake check) is known to lock up
: when run under HP's Bourne shells: /usr/bin/sh and /sbin/sh.  This is a
: known defect JAGad84609, the fix for which is not yet in any released
: HP-UX version or shell patches.  To work around it, 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.
