Patches are being applied during allura setup (_make_core_app) which runs for every functional test. This compounds over time and in some situations can cause tests to apparently lock up at 100% CPU usage.
Ensure tests still pass. See if you can reproduce on master a situation in which tests lock up (e.g. nosetests on Allura without multiprocessing), and then try on this branch.

Reproduced the lock up and confirmed it does not happen on a branch. All tests pass.
