Description
If a bot segfaults, then the tests will fail saying that the expected output was not found in X seconds (of course, the bot is no longer there, so it's not going to produce the expected output). It would be better if it clearly stated that the bot left the channel (or segfaulted, I think it should have this information already).

Research direction
Start by locating the tests that wait for expected bot output and inspect how bot/channel departure is reported. Done means a bot that leaves or segfaults produces a distinct test failure explaining what happened instead of only timing out.
