I would guess that the culprit is the following unit test in bwdist:

## The quasi-euclidean method is apparently sensitive to a machine precision
## error that happens in x86 systems only. This test will cause an endless
## loop in case of a regression.
%!test
%! bw = [  0   1   1   0   0   0   1   0

%! ]);
%! assert (bwdist (bw, "quasi-euclidean"), out);

Should we run the test above only on non-x86 architectures?
