Not everything is broken by wedged; internally we just use that as an
indicator that GEM is hosed. KMS should still work, we must still be
able to drive the displays to show the error and keep the servers alive
until the data is saved (and hopefully gracefully degrade that we don't
have to interrupt their immediate session).

Whilst that may be out of scope for BAT, it should not be completely
beyond us for robustness testing.
