Details

This happens when we reach max timeouts:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mochitest/tests/SimpleTest/TestRunner.js#361

This puts result.test records with that string into ActiveData, which then show up in tools like test-informant and cause general confusion.
I believe we want this failure to show up as an infrastructure failure, not a test failure. Yes?

Can we make this failure show a failure in the suite, rather than a test?  Can mozlog report a "suite failure" (or "run failure", or "job failure")?
It's not a mozlog problem, it's a combination of things, but will need to be fixed on the JS side of mochitest. But yes.. basically we'll need to figure out something like that. It should show up as an error instead of a test_status.
