Quoted from the mailing list thread:

"Windmill implements a custom HTTPS web server, which is waiting for data. I would guess that something in the web browser itself hung: either loading the test harness, loading the site under test, or passing back test results. We need a log file to know for sure."

I think the next thing we should do is look for a robust mechanism for running and restarting hung tests. Even if we find what is hanging in the test harness (browser, server, network, moon phase) we will probably end up fixing it with a full restart anyway.
