I believe this is another case of enabling the tests was good for initial debugging of the module for builds, but is becoming more of a hinderance than good. Not all hardware platforms are going to be able to handle the forking code correctly. Unforunately, not all perl module tests are written equally (some will try the fork test and *not* die like good little modules). I'm going to instead remove the tests from the ebuild - it doesn't affect functionality, and should resolve this problem.
