There can be. These machines are very busy running the daily builds in 
addition to the SPB and the load can get quite high sometimes, 
especially between 6pm and 8am EST. It looks like these time outs 
happened during that window.

This is because the Windows builders use the --merge-multiarch flag. 
Please refer to my previous email where I explained this.
