Yes, I checked for you on Freenode and was a bit worried when I didn't 
find you. ;)

Thanks for the reboot.  As long as you don't mind us bugging you when we 
need this (hopefully rarely) I imagine we can deal with a bit of delay 
in the process.

At this point I have no idea.  OOM is a definite possibility but I doubt 
Jenkins is to blame.  We are still working out issues with our 
customization of the build system and really still learning how to adapt 
a Smalltalk view of the world to a Ruby/Java/Unix one.  Those who 
actually deal with the Jenkins side of it (not me) will hopefully have 
more useful information than the hand-waving I am doing here.
