Indeed. There are a bunch of problems with the SqueakTrunk job at the moment:
* the job is inherently unreliable because we can't make the scripts
actually fail when something goes wrong (see my pushing for this on
vm-dev yesterday) (*)
* updating is EXTREMELY SLOW. I've increased the timeout on the
updating to _25 minutes_ and it's still sometimes not long enough
* we have a serious problem in the form of a primitive crash. Or I do,
or Linux machines do. Something like that.

Once that last issue has been resolved, I'm going to have to hand-roll
a new base image, which will address the build time issue as well as
let us skip past the Parser problems Nicolas & I have recently
discussed.

(*) This failure to bail the entire job means that the image the tests
run against is a didn't-actually-update image, so you end up with a
4.4-12327 image.
