----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you setting the "forkTimeout" parameter in your surefire settings ? We have identified a race condition that could occur if the forked process times out while still outputting to stdout/stderr. Just setting "forkTimeout" is actually enough to trigger 
this, it would happen even with "forkMode=never" as long as forkTimeout is set.

Actually the issue would probably happen quite frequently as long as the process outputs to stderr/stdout at the exact time it times out with "forkTimeout".
