Details

A line shows up in the test log when a leak log is created. Therefore, leakcheck should be able to figure out which test was running when the leak log was created, and report that as part of the error message. The recent failures I looked at in bug 1560096 were all due to a test failing to indicate to the leak checker that they were intentionally crashing a process, so adding an annotation like this would properly assign blame, rather than having everything turn into a giant bucket that requires manual analysis to understand.

In the worst case, we could fall back to printing out the test directory, if no test was currently running.
