If <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238> was applied, we wouldn't have to
guess what is the cause, instead "guix pull" would just tell us if it's
a networking error or a stack overflow or an oom(*) ...

(*) Except on Linux due to overcommit, though that could be worked-
around by setting the appropriate variable in /proc/sys or by doing
'setrlimit' like some of Guile's OOM tests do.

Greetings,
Maxime.
