I think it's always going to be possible that some bug in QEMU results in a test hanging -- so it must be down to the test harness to deal with hanging tests. And then once you have that functionality in the test harness it doesn't matter quite so much whether an individual test has its own timeout handling or not. thanks -- PMM
