Unrelated comment: why does this bring the bot down?

I mentioned this to Adam yesterday, but the EWS needs to have a concept of a deadman timer, like buildbot does. It should not be possible for any spawned off task to hang or bring down the bots, no matter what goes wrong.

Unless of course you're running into a bug in python where spawning off the test-webkitpy itself is somehow hosing the caller.
