process: Deal with infinite looping of the server
PATCH 1/1 process: Deal with infinite looping of the server
Currently if an exception occurs, we just run the idle handler again and again, usually looping indefinitely. Chances are the exception that occurred will keep occurring and this is not a good place to be.
This was breaking the autobuilders with gigabytes of logs.
At least improve things so the cooker shuts down gracefully when this happens. Some trace of the original problem may still be present on the console too!
