Makes sense.  I think waiting 5 minutes between retries is probably a
touch excessive too, maybe we should scale that down too.

I've seen this happen a few times too.

I don't know what's going on at all.  There is flakiness somewhere, but
I don't know if it's in the panda master kernel, the hardware of some of
the pandas or somewhere in our lab's setup.  It's interesting that it
happens more on particular devices though, suggests a more
hardware-sided problem (whether with the panda or a loose cable or
something else).
