Description
See the discussion in https://github.com/astropy/pyvo/pull/729.
I am not sure which particular SAMP tests are triggering the hang at the moment, but I suspect the root cause is a race condition in one of the client + server tests, as much of it relies on `time.sleep` calls to wait for services to come up.
Also I notice that the MacOS test is running indefinitely on main now too, so it's one of those partially reproducible bugs too:

Research direction
Start with the discussion in pull request 729 and the linked macOS Actions job to identify which SAMP test hangs. Trace the client/server tests that rely on time.sleep and determine the reproducible failure; done means the affected tests finish reliably on macOS CI.
