can sage -testall use threads?

[kcrisman]

That is, without setting NUM_THREADS or something. I tried

./sage -testall -p 8

but I just get lots of error messages in addition to my test output.
I guess I have the same question about sage -tnew as well.

Thanks,

The 'sage -testall' and 'sage -tnew' operators invoke the scripts

SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-maketest
SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-test-new

respectively. To run the tests, both scripts use 'sage -t', which calls
the serial doctest runner

SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-test

Moreover, sage-test-new does not pass along command-line arguments. But
it would be useful to generalize.
