In diagnostic builds of WiredTiger there is a timer around the eviction process, that causes the process to exit after 5 minutes without making progress.
There are some testing configurations that run into that limitation because additional diagnostic overhead causes things to run slowly.
We should add a new configuration option that allows the cache-stuck timeout to be disabled and/or reconfigured to be a longer value. Consider also the timeout that was recently added if a single eviction takes too long, and whether it should be configurable as well (see WT-10432 for an example of that).
