Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #821927 +++

The test dom/telephony/test/marionette/test_multiple_hold.js is frequently (every single time, in fact) failing with this error:

17:39:42    ERROR -  Traceback (most recent call last):
17:39:42     INFO -    File "/home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/tests/marionette/marionette/marionette_test.py", line 213, in runTest

17:39:42    ERROR -  TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | test_multiple_hold.js | ScriptTimeoutException: timed out

This appeared at roughly the same time on mozilla-inbound and mozilla-central, at about the same time the emulator used by buildbot was updated (bug 821563), so I'm thinking that is the cause.  This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that retriggering Mn on changesets from this morning where it was green then now turns orange.

I'm going to disable this test for now, since it's failing most of the time (last 6 retriggers on inbound tip, for example).
