Well , Ralph fix should be 7150 and I don't put on updates until we are sure
solves the problem.
The bad news is 7143 ran the test with the know bugs.
When I try to run on 7149 or 7150 the test just no finish.
Both the Mac and the Windows XP go to limbo for the all test.
As Ralph tell the all test run, some was different between his image and
mines.

I attach the update just for you and all try
Put in your updates folder into same directory as tested image.
Do Utilities applyUpdatesFromDisk

Summary: 0006520: recursive fonts cause crash when running tests
Description: When I try to run all tests in 3.10alpha.7105, the image often crashes.  Sometimes I can run the tests once, but the second time I run them then the system crashes.  The problem is that a TTCFont has itself as its "fallbackFont", and this causes infinite recursion in methods like #ascent.  I fixed #ascent but something else broke.

Diego Deck worked on this. He said  <<<The problem (the one I found) is fired from
LocaleTest>>testLocaleChanged. Probably the problem is that the first
round of test-runs change the default fonts, and the #localeChanged
propagation fires TTCFont>>setupDefaultFallbackFont, that changes the
receiver's fallbackFont to the default font.>>>

Diego gave me the a .cs file with two changed methods.  This solves the problem for me.
Now I can run tests over and over without any problems, though several tests fail that did not fail before.
