Comment (by atagar):

 Thanks catalyst, that's interesting. The operative bit that jumps out to
 me is....

 {{{
   File
 "/home/travis/build/torproject/tor/stem/test/integ/control/controller.py",
 line 527, in test_without_ephemeral_hidden_services
     with test.runner.get_runner().get_tor_controller() as controller:
 ...
   File "/home/travis/build/torproject/tor/stem/stem/connection.py", line
 1007, in get_protocolinfo
     protocolinfo_response = _msg(controller, 'PROTOCOLINFO 1')
 }}}

 This indicates that test_without_ephemeral_hidden_services likely hung
 when calling PROTOCOLINFO in an attempt to authenticate. Most likely this
 is *not* an issue during test_without_ephemeral_hidden_services, but
 rather a prior test got tor into a borked state where it no longer
 responds in a healthy fashion to PROTOCOLINFO.

 Previously I suggested collecting trace runlevel logs from Stem. If we
 don't have repro steps I can use to generate this locally then that's the
 next step.
