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.
