[warrenseine]

TestHistFindNdim1, TestHistFindNdim2, TestHistFindNdim10 (and no other test) crash the Surefire VM on macOS.

Here's the full log:

GObject warnings also appear on successful tests so we should ignore them. I already tried all recommended solution on this StackOverflow question.

[warrenseine]

I'll @Ignore them while we investigate.

[dbouron]

I can't investigate on my side because I have any macOS devices.
Does surefire provide readable reports?
It's fine for me to temporary ignore these tests.

[warrenseine]

Don't worry, I'll investigate on my side when I have time. I've logged this issue to be sure we won't leave these tests ignored forever.
