Public bug reported:

When a test times out, it means that we never made it back to the test
shell prompt.  So if we try to continue on to the next test, it's not
going to work, and we just go into an endless series of test timeouts.
I've seen this happen a few times lately.  I think if a test times out
we need to do something to kill it, and make sure we get back to a shell
prompt before continuing on.

One option is to send ^c, but I'm not sure this is sufficient.  It may
make more sense to just reboot to the test image.
