If the application crashes during start-up we currently raise an exception of the following type:

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=3917570&repo=mozilla-central#L720

> IOError: Timed out waiting for port!

That message is not helpful at all to at least announce a start-up crash via a message. It would help in those cases when mozcrash is not able to detect such a crash if it's happening before we actually enable breakpad.

I would suggest that we check for the exit code of the application and if it is not around anymore we can also early abort wait_for_port and throw an exception similar to:

raise IOError("process died with returncode %s" % returncode)
