It'd be an enormous help if Larch could stop hanging during the "alive test" step that's (a crapload of commandline options then) `make.py leaktest`. That buildstep lacks the timeout that it ought to have (bug 791335), so when I noticed that Larch had some rather long-running builds earlier today, they had pointlessly chewed up 3000 to 7000 minutes of ec2 slave time (which doesn't come out of my pocket) and kept 13 Linux build slaves from being able to do builds on other trees for 2 to 4 days (which does come out of my remaining sanity). The buildsteps *should* time out, but it'd also be nice if you could stop hanging for days on end, too :)
Okay, now you're welcome to hang as long as you like, since they'll get killed after 10 minutes.
