Interesting, I guess I forgot the problem because had some rules in config.mak to serialize them for many years, now :x

Anyways, how about making the tests run on separate ports and not worry about serializing them at all? Maybe there was a reason we didn't do this years ago, but I forget...

But probably the best (but I guess more difficult) option is to get svnserve+apache to do socket activation off a random port bound by a parent process at startup.
