On the same underlying code. Looks like maybe roscore failed to start up?

For now the patch can be to manually re-trigger the appropriate build so we can collect a little more data on how frequently this happens. If it becomes a serious problem, that test can be disabled.

Yeah I don't think I did a great job setting up the test. There is a 3 second sleep somewhere in that test. Maybe we need to make that longer. I also have a part of the code where I kill all processes with procman in the name. Neither of these are elegant solutions, but they were what I came up with at the time. Happy to modify as needed.

This seems to have gotten better with the smarter procman-kill-everything fixes in the test scripts.
