Details

Currently, output from a cppunittest is stored until the process terminates, and then it gets dumped.

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/runcppunittests.py#51

For long-running tests, then, we have to increase the output timeout (see bug 1190474), and if something happens to the test while it's running, we can lose the entire output.

Ideally, we should be dumping the output in near realtime.
In our other suites we tend to elide test output unless there's a failure. Not sure if it's worth trying to do the same thing here or not.
