What I really wish for is a reliable hard timeout on all these tests.


Not sure how much it helps, but Java has a built-in thread deadlock detector (which may or may 
not fire here, since it
only detects deadlocks where the locks in question are all Java-level locks)

I have code that I can contribute that runs a watchdog thread that queries the Java deadlock 
detector every 2 seconds
and kills the program when a deadlock is detected.

hmm... that would help in this particular case, but generally speaking,
this is the first and only java-only deadlock i've ever seen in a test,
usually 2 C++ threads are involved in a deadlock.

Of course, it may be simpler and safer to simply surround the relevant tests with a 
brute-force-5-min-timeout-and-kill.

that depends on the build configuration, if you're running the test with
ASAN / valgrind / drmemory the timeout needs to be much longer or disabled.

we could have multiplier in gbuild for these case.

like default base timeout 10 minutes
multiplier = 1
if asan multiplier = 3  (for example)

and then the actual watchdog use base_timeout * multiplier minutes as timeout
