Hmm, seems to be doing the same thing again after 90 minutes or so we 
are up to

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ 
COMMAND
 1148 buildbot  20   0 3142408   3.0g   9636 S  75.0  76.5  56:44.73 
python3

I have no idea why this is happening.  Is it buildbot?  Python 3? 
Something wrong with our configuration?
