eunit question

[Amit Murthy]

My bad.

Seems like the default timeout for a single test is 5 seconds. I increased
it using the "timeout" test descriptor and things are OK now.

But I still don't understand why my erlang console should just hang after
the "met_fb:request_content_ban_test...*timed out*" message is printed.
