I find this highly desirable regardless of concerns raised here.

It's crazy that we keep running tests (and sometimes parallel ReportCrash instances) when ReportCrash is already running. As Stephanie noted, this can make ReportCrash take up to 15 minutes instead of a few seconds that it normally takes - imagine how much this strains the system, and how much this contributes to other tests' slowness and flakiness.

If there is no better way known, let's just look at whether ReportCrash process exists - we'll waste 45 seconds per crash, but it's small compared to current situation.
