Thank you for your tests!  This makes me wonder whether these are the
ones causing the problem...  I've uploaded the branch I'm working on so
that you could try to reproduce [0] if you are so inclined :-).

10 users, not doing anything special, as I found out looking at guix
processes, so I don't know what is causing the exhaustion of build
