IB unit test Issue with CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker

[qliphy]

There is a unit failure as shown in today's new IB:
https://cmssdt.cern.ch/SDT/cgi-bin/logreader/slc7_amd64_gcc900/CMSSW_12_1_X_2021-10-18-1100/unitTestLogs/CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker#/

"MessageLogger Summary" got stuck and killed.

This seems to be from #35661
I could reproduce locally as below:

cmsrel CMSSW_12_1_X_2021-10-17-2300
cd CMSSW_12_1_X_2021-10-17-2300/src
git cms-addpkg CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker
git cms-merge-topic 35661
scram b -j11
cd CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker/test/
source test_CondToolsSiPhase2Tracker.sh

It appears that the script CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker/test/test_CondToolsSiPhase2Tracker.sh, in particular CondTools/SiPhase2Tracker/test/SiPhase2OuterTrackerLorentzAngleWriter_cfg.py, does not run consistently and will sometimes crash seemingly based on chance. Sometimes there is a seg fault, sometimes it gets stuck and times out, and sometimes it runs with no issues while making no changes or recompiling.

It also appears that the file I changed in the PR, DQM/EcalMonitorTasks/src/RawDataTask.cc, is not being run by this script as far as I can tell from some tests I tried.
