No, a 5minute timeout on a Panda is fine. > Can we have it send a signal and shut itself down with an error > message on exit once it hits the timeout? I could probably add something like an alarm() call or the like - however, it would probably be good to have a generic wrapper like that in Lava, since you can never trust a test to die sanely - especially in this case since what we're really triggering is a kernel bug.
