You can approximate "usepty=0" on the command line by redirecting
standard input, output and error to/from non-tty file descriptors.

Something like the following should work:

trial buildbot.test.test_vc.Mercurial < /dev/null 2>&1 | tee log.txt

If it has something to do with process groups, I think you can add a
"nohup" to the beginning of the command to test that theory. However,
you might need to wrap the whole thing in a "nohup sh -c '...'".
