 OverflowError: timeout is too large

The failure of this test was only seen when failure in l3 agent test occurred.
Need to collect more statistics on the failure.

    Deal with intermittent OverflowError in gate-neutron-python26

    This occurence looks like is related to a failure in
    utils.execute. This patch attempts to deal with the error
    by mocking out Popen.communicate altogether.

    Fixes bug #1202065
