Crashes in unity8 cause infinite restarts and/or a permanently black screen.
As experienced in bug 1578462.
I guess the problem is the 'respawn' keyword in:

The default respawn limit is 10 within 5 seconds [1].
We definitely want unity8 to respawn, but maybe we just need to increase the time limit (since it probably takes quite a bit of time for unity8 to crash - it likely misses the 5s mark).
