Hi,

Cuirass has a tendency to not notice when a build is finished, leaving
it in a "running" state.

The phenomenon can be observed by going to
<https://ci.guix.gnu.org/status> and look at builds that are running for
a suspiciously long time.

Typically the build log will indicate that it has finished, yet Cuirass
is patiently waiting...and not scheduling further builds.

Restarting the builds typically get things going again.

I wrote a nasty script to automatically restart builds that are running
for >1 hour, but it's not a sustainable solution:
