Description
Is there a way to re-run a test that failed during slave death? Due to the nature of the project I am working on it is possible for a test slave to be reaped by the OOM handler in Linux, and instead of rejecting that test it would be awesome if the test could instead be retried.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the distributed worker-death handling and existing test retry logic, then determine how an OOM-reaped Linux worker is reported. Done means a test affected by slave death is retried instead of rejected, with coverage for that failure path.
