I don’t see how the binary garbage could reach the stdout of ‘guix substitute-binary’. This happens when hydra.gnu.org is overloaded as you suggest, so perhaps we have a connection closed unexpected or something like that, but still. Since this is the multithreaded ‘substitute-binary’, could there be something fishy going on in wrt. threads? Ludo’.
