misbehavior from builbdbt side. It looks like, TB39 cannot fetch the
change for some reasons and reports status "canceled" back, in which
case buildbot re-initialize the task in the queue, and the same TB39
(probably in wedged state?) 60 sec later picks the task again and we
have a loop. Mac TB21 seems to not have any problems. Linux TB is
missing? I think we need two (at least) TBs for each platform for gerrit
buildbot duties so that we can disable one if it starts to loop. Does it
makes sense?

Last gerrit update was 2.8.6.1 and this was some months ago IIRC.
