 Tor runs Stem's integration test as part of its CI.

 It looks liken Stem or Tor hung on a controller test:

   Mar 04 02:35:25.794 [notice] This version is not a stable Tor release.
 Expect more bugs than usual.
   Mar 04 02:35:25.795 [notice] Read configuration file

   Mar 04 02:35:25.801 [notice] Your ContactInfo config option is not set.
 Please consider setting it, so we can contact you if your server is
 misconfigured or something else goes wrong.
   Mar 04 02:35:25.801 [notice] Based on detected system memory,
 MaxMemInQueues is set to 5609 MB. You can override this by setting
 MaxMemInQueues by hand.
   Mar 04 02:35:25.801 [warn] ControlPort is open, but no authentication
 method has been configured.  This means that any program on your computer
 can reconfigure your Tor.  That's bad!  You should upgrade your Tor
 controller as soon as possible.

 No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates
 a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.

 Is this a Stem or a Tor issue?
 What can we do to diagnose this issue?
 How can we make Stem exit with failure, rather than hanging?
 Do we need to collect and show debug logs in Tor's CI?
 (We can't show the debug logs in CI unless Stem exits with a failure.)
