Details

The http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/file/8a2a53657870/steps/base.py#l36 wrapper currently sets the timeout passed to retry.py to the same value as Buildbot's. Because of overhead in calling retry.py, this means that we'll never hit its timeout in cases where we have no output. We should ensure that it's at least 15 seconds less than Buildbot's - either by setting it to a value lower than the default or passed in, or by setting Buildbot's higher. The latter is probably more intuitive.
