Comment (by dustin):

 Tom suggests this may be due to output buffering of some form when not
 connected to a terminal.  If this is the case, then setting usePty=True
 will help.

 Since you mention this only happens periodically, it's possible that
 there's a race condition in the tes code which only causes a hang in a
 small fraction of cases -- manual testing wouldn't necessarily catch that.
 Have you tried running the task repeatedly by hand?
