Historically, in chromium (when we ran with TestShell instead of DRT) the timeout was enforced by TestShell itself, and things basically ran until the watchdog fired, much like with this error.

The only reason we assume the process is hung now is because we can't distinguish between a hung process and the case where we know DRT timed itself out. We could consider this message to be a timeout, and treat a hung process more like a crash (and only restart in the latter case).
