There's a whole other thread about this at the moment, which outlines
the problems and what we're doing about it. One of the main issues
should be already solved. The primary goal is to get jenkins to be more
reliable so that hiccups don't happen in the first place.

In any case, if you want all the details, please see James Blair's
recent email to the Jenkins and Transient Failures thread.
