[issue1911] Tests won't run in parallel (1.4 regression)

[Ingmar Vanhassel]

New submission from Ingmar Vanhassel <ingmar at exherbo.org>:

With mercurial 1.4, tests no longer run in parallel. 

This is the error:
/usr/bin/python .run-tests.py -j4 --verbose --tmpdir="/var/tmp/paludis/build/dev-scm-mercurial-
1.4/temp/"

This worked in mercurial 1.3.1.

Dropping -j4 to -j1 works, but I'd rather avoid that for our Exherbo packages, since mercurial 
tests are numerous, and and thus slow to run. :-)
