fix for Debian build failures

[David Bremner]

resent because of subscription issues.

I think the following patch might fix the build failures on Debian.  The
idea is to kill the test before the build process kills the whole build.

Let me know if you'd like me to prepare an upload of 0.5+this-patch.
