      smoke.py should setup a signal handler to dump its stack trace, so if its stuck we can debug it by doing something like

      kill -3 <pid>
      

      good example of how to do this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/132058/showing-the-stack-trace-from-a-running-python-application

      this command could be added to the timeout handler in MCI so that we get info on what smoke.py is doing when an MCI test suite hangs.
