My answer may be late, but since I just stumbled over something like
this and others may find your question by searching the archive like I did:
The dysfunctional "--process-timeout" only seems to happen on tests that
make use of threads and IPC. While that may be a direction worth digging
into, I was satisfied with wrapping the nosetests call using the timeout
command (available on most Linux systems) to kill the whole test run
once such an occasional freeze occurs.
