    <p>The exception is thrown by python's semaphore class. We are using
      it to limit the number of tests running concurrently, though I
      couldn't see anything obviously wrong with the relevant code. If

            <p>Hello Simon,<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>I had a quick look into this today, and spoke a bit with
              Ben about it. We don't have a clear answer as to what is
              causing this at the moment. We'll have to look more into
              this early next week.
              <o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>> It means I can’t validate at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>So you've tried to validate multiple times? I.e. does the
              error happen deterministically or was it more of a one off
              event?<o:p></o:p></p>
