Jest hangs when a worker runs out of memory

[rubennorte]

🐛 Bug Report

We have a bunch of tests that load a big amount of data. When that data exceeds the maximum heap size configured in Node, the worker fails and Jest hangs.

I'm pretty sure we'd have the same behaviour with any other fatal error in the worker.

(I'll look into this after. I just wanted to have an issue I could link 😅).

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Make a worker fail by creating a test that reserves memory indefinitely and see how Jest hangs.

Expected behavior

Jest should make that test fail and continue with the rest, eventually finishing.
