+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1135471 +++ Since this seems to be a recurring problem, I'm opening a separate bug to prevent it from happening again. I know Jason mentioned at one point that the tasks don't have a hard time limit, so maybe the fix is to add one. Please feel free to close if something has already been done about this. Thanks

The problem seems to be that the validator is implementing a timeout by installing a SIGALRM handler and setting a timeout, without unsetting that timeout or removing its handler when validation is complete or the task fails. So I think this means that when validation does not complete successfully, the timer callback will raise an exception at an arbitrary time during the worker process's execution.
Huh. Those PR numbers are really conveniently symmetrical.
