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.

Okay, well, it's not hard to post a patch that will sleep while ReportCrash is running, for you to at least try things and see if you like it.
