I think it depends on automation and how far it controls started process.

Besides, converted to latest LTP API tests much safer in terms of per 
test lockups because
they have a test timeout there. As far as I know there is no such 
feature in new shell library
yet (tst_test.sh). It seems that it would be a good thing to have a 
timeout option in tst_rod() too.

Thanks,
Alexey
