It turns out this is a bug in FreeBSD's timeout(1), which gets stuck
if the child it is directly monitoring does not collect its own zombie
children. Presumably this condition now exists as a side effect of
some change. Even though we may want to investigate and avoid that in
LLDB or the tests, the underlying FreeBSD bug is what really needs to
be fixed.
