Hi Harold,

Your change to add the timeout seems fine and trivial.

But ... I don't understand what this test is trying to do. With PARSE_TIMEOUT set to zero this test doesn't stress anything it just spawns 40000 threads sequentially and has the new thread define a hidden class, which AFAICS the main thread could do directly. ???

Cheers,
David
