Description

In method checkBlocks(), TestBlockReplacement waits forever on a condition. Failures result in Hudson/Jenkins "Timeout occurred" error message with no information about where or why. Need to replace with TimeoutException that throws a stack trace and useful info about the failure mode.

Also investigate possible cause of failure.
