Breakpad reporter doesn't always launch #319

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Infrequently, but far too often, the breakpad reporter app doesn't get
launched.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Reboot (this isn't strictly necessary, but it's the best way I found to
reproduce it)
2. Crash a breakpad-enabled app (say, Camino)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The reporter isn't launched, but a crash dump is written.

I spent some time sprinkling log statements and rebooting, and was able to 
track this
down. It's a combination of a too-short timeout and incorrectly treating 
failure to
send the "keep going" message as a fatal error.

I think the reason rebooting triggered it is that it made the test cold, and 
thus
take longer.
