           Summary: We should remove the watchdog timer from
                    DumpRenderTree
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: atwilson at chromium.org


There's already a watchdog timer in run-webkit-tests - having a watchdog timer
in DumpRenderTree itself makes it difficult to adjust timeout values via
command line flags, or introduce longer timeouts when running
valgrind/GuardMalloc.

We should remove the watchdog timer in DumpRenderTree, and have the watchdog
timer in run-webkit-tests signal DumpRenderTree to force a notifyDone()
(perhaps by writing something to STDIN, or sending a signal, or some other
mechanism).
