That was my guess. But how often does this happen? Does this failure mean we 
should make the darwin build somehow optional? Increase the timeout? Any 
fragility in our CI infrastructure is damaging: it slows the acceptance of 
otherwise-ready patches and contributes to a "broken windows" effect 
encouraging developers to ignore CI failures. Conversely, how expensive would 
it be to improve our darwin provisioning?

Thanks,
Richard
