Recently there was another test-all timeout failure on a Windows mingw or ucrt job. These are intermittent failures, and the last indicated that the test suite had passed.

See https://github.com/ruby/ruby/runs/4389116424?check_suite_focus=true#step:16:909

ruby-loco runs tests differently, but it has also had intermittent failures, which were due to a ruby process that wasn't closing, leaving a locked file (STDERR mapped to a file).

I added Stop-Process -Name ruby -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue (PowerShell), which in Ruby's CI could be added right after the test-all line.

Again, this is intermittent. I haven't checked to see if it can be repro'd using the test seed value from a failing job.
