#802: Early Timeouts

Comment(by dustin):

 I can't see how this would happen without some badly-behaved clocks.

 {{{RunProcess._startCommand}}} sets {{{self.startTime}}} and sets up the
 timeout at the same time:
 {{{
         self.startTime = util.now(self._reactor)
 ...
         self.timer = self._reactor.callLater(self.timeout, self.doTimeout)
 }}}

 {{{doTimeout}}} prints {{{self.timeout}}}'s value:
 {{{
 command timed out: 1200 seconds without output, killing pid 6908
 }}}

 And the elapsed time (219.410117) is later calculated in {{{finished}}}:
 {{{
         self.elapsedTime = util.now(self._reactor) - self.startTime
 }}}

 The overall order of events, then, is:
  * record startTime
  * start 1200s timer
  * 1200s timer expires
  * calculate elapsedTime

 Note that the 1200s is embedded *inside* the 219s elapsed time.

 Do you have the twistd.log from this (or a similar) failure?
