By the way, this looks odd:

make buildbottest TESTOPTS= TESTPYTHONOPTS= TESTTIMEOUT=3600 in dir /root/buildarea/3.x.angelico-debian-amd64/build (timeout 3900 secs) The parameter says 3600 (which corresponds to the error message at the end), but it echoes back that the timeout is 3900 seconds. I'm no help on the main issue, but to explain the timeout difference: TESTTIMEOUT is a makefile variable that sets the faulthandler timeout that tries to make Python bail out with a stack trace instead of letting buildbot kill Python silently. The 3900 second timeout is buildbot's "there's been no output in this long, assume it's hung and kill it" timeout. The difference between the two is to give faulthandler a chance to do its thing.

Ah, cool. That's one mystery cleared up, at least.
