[CMake] CTest tests time out with CDash submission

[Christopher Mullins]

Hello CMake community,

I am attempting to incorporate Cppcheck into the code analysis section of
the TubeTK dashboard.  It's static code analysis, distinct from dynamic
code analysis tools like Valgrind, but I'm simply incorporating the checks
for Style, Performance, Portability, Information, and UnusedFunctions as
additional tests in the same category.  Basically I'm trying to mimic what
has been accomplished in the CalaTK
project.<http://www.calatk.org/gitweb?p=calatk.git;a=blob;f=Code/Testing/CMakeLists.txt;h=2e900af70d5c6353b7dae38b5ebdb3282cbc4750;hb=HEAD#l1031>

The issue I'm having is that the tests now run as such:
TreCime ~/Projects/tubetk-cppcheck/TubeTK-Build $ time ctest -R "Cppcheck"
Test project /home/crmullin/Projects/tubetk-cppcheck/TubeTK-Build
    Start 30: CppcheckStyle
1/5 Test #30: CppcheckStyle ....................***Failed  Error regular
expression found in output. Regex=[error file=] 77.12 sec
    Start 31: CppcheckPerformance
2/5 Test #31: CppcheckPerformance ..............***Failed  Error regular
expression found in output. Regex=[error file=] 74.77 sec
    Start 32: CppcheckPortability
3/5 Test #32: CppcheckPortability ..............***Failed  Error regular
expression found in output. Regex=[error file=] 75.78 sec
    Start 33: CppcheckInformation
4/5 Test #33: CppcheckInformation ..............***Failed  Error regular
expression found in output. Regex=[error file=] 75.37 sec
    Start 34: CppcheckUnusedFunction
5/5 Test #34: CppcheckUnusedFunction ...........***Failed  Error regular
expression found in output. Regex=[error file=] 75.02 sec

0% tests passed, 5 tests failed out of 5

Total Test time (real) = 378.13 sec

The following tests FAILED:
 30 - CppcheckStyle (Failed)
 31 - CppcheckPerformance (Failed)
 32 - CppcheckPortability (Failed)
 33 - CppcheckInformation (Failed)
 34 - CppcheckUnusedFunction (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

This is great.  It takes only a few minutes to complete, and fails when it
should.  The same tests are *timing out* when I run $ make
ExperimentalMemcheck:
Start  27: ImageCompareCommand-Test6_fetchData
 27/618 MemCheck  #27: ImageCompareCommand-Test6_fetchData

        Start  32: CppcheckInformation
 32/618 MemCheck  #32: CppcheckInformation
...............................................................................................***Timeout

During this time the process appears to be CPU-bound, so I don't think
there is some blocking issue that I'm not seeing keeping the test idle.
 Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Is this a CTest issue at all?

Thanks for all your help,
