As far as I can tell, it gets stuck in Benchmark::runloop waiting until
tms_utime returned by times() changes. This should never take more than
1 s (as long as it is the only process keeping the CPU busy). It must be a
kernel bug if it keeps looping forever (does consumed CPU time increase
when the process is monitored with "top"?).
