If it's the compile-asdf script hanging instead of exiting, I just pushed 1.603 that has a fix for running tests in ECL w/o manual intervention. My apologies. (No functional change to asdf itself, only to the test script infrastructure.)

ASDF didn't use to support ECL for testing at all. I just added this support and found about the warnings, so it counts as my having warned you immediately.
How can I run the tests? run-tests.sh is not working for me.
What's going wrong?
