Description
If deserializing the struct does not work from the just-serialized struct, procspawn hangs indefinetly. We just experienced this in Symbolicator.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang when a serialized struct does not deserialize back to an equivalent value, using the procspawn process communication path. Done means this mismatch no longer hangs indefinitely and instead terminates or reports the failure; the payload names no files or tests to run.
