Thanks for finding this correlation. Yeah, poking around in the cfbot
history database I see about 1 failure like that per day since that
date, and there doesn't seem to be anything else as obviously likely
to be related to wakeups and timeouts. I don't understand what's
wrong with the logic, and I think it would take someone willing to
debug it locally to figure that out. Unless someone has an idea, I'm
leaning towards reverting that commit and leaving the relatively minor
problem that it was intended to fix as a TODO.
