What about tests in dual-lived modules, rather than core tests?

My last two VC++ smokes of bleadperl hung on ext/IO/t/io_linenum.t and
eventually led to the whole smoke job getting killed (I run each smoke
as a Win32::Job).

But IO is a dual-lived module, so its tests use Test rather than test.pl
and hence don't have the watchdog() function available.
