The following packages were being built at the same time:

- guest 1: virtuoso-opensource and openturns
- guest 2: llvm-toolchain-13

I really did a lot of testing today with no issues and just after I sent my report
to oss-security that the machine seems to be stable again, the issue showed up :(.

Do you know whether IPMI features any sort of monitoring for capturing the output
of the serial console non-interactively? This way I would be able to capture the
crash besides what I have seen above.

I am pretty sure you can run something like

script ipmitool

to capture output indefinitely, and the same inside screen on a remote
machine.

Thanks
