Title:
  Some retraces fail, but hang rather than exiting

Status in Ubuntu error tracker backend (daisy):
  New

Bug description:
  We get some retraces that just hang, but don't exit - these seem to be
  all (from what I've seen so far) from the 11.10 release. I've
  discussed this with Evan a few weeks back, and am filing as a bug to
  see if there's something that can be done within the retracer to
  manage this. We can do it externally with a cron job to kill gdb
  processes older than a certain age (what should be the threshold?) but
  it would be cleaner if it can be done within the application.
