jest-worker's test do not pass when run in worker-farm

[SimenB]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Either code bug or infrastructure bug

What is the current behavior?
packages/jest-worker/src/__tests__/child.test.js does not pass when doing a full test run locally. It passes on CI as that's run using --runInBand. It also passes locally if you just run that test.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and either a repl.it demo through https://repl.it/languages/jest or a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.
On current jest master (7db15f0)

A fix might be to drop worker-farm completely for jest-worker?

Line throwing in worker-farm: https://github.com/rvagg/node-worker-farm/blob/1ee4adb56f7c78eb1f840d58586194e0a4c7474a/lib/child/index.js#L44

Yeah, this bug is really weird. It looks that the child processes executing the tests get messed up with something; probably process.send. I'm fine deleting the test until we find out what it is; I will get some time to work on that next week.

Fixed in #5027.
