FWIW, I'd vote for keeping a finite timeout, but making it say
ten minutes.  If the thing gets stuck for some reason, you don't
really want the test waiting forever.  (Some buildfarm animals
have overall-test-time limits, but I think it's not the default,
and the behavior when that gets hit is pretty unfriendly anyway
-- you don't get any report of the run at all.)
