This is indeed a pretty bad bug. Thank you for bringing it to our
attention.
For reference, here is the discussion about this on help-gnu-emacs:

I think the fix here is simply to make sure that these processes times
out.
I will look into this, but that should not stop anyone else from
looking into it if they feel so inclined. Please also if anyone has a
better idea for how to fix it, feel free to share it.
Best regards,

PS. Is there a way to mark this as blocking Emacs 27.1? I don't
think we should release a pre-test with this issue.
PS2. If we can't find a fix in time before the pre-release, it is
better to back out commit a6d87ea045 on the release branch. (We could
then leave it on master and fix it there, I think.) But that that
will hopefully not be necessary.
