I don=E2=80=99t see how the binary garbage could reach the stdout of =E2=80=
=98guix
substitute-binary=E2=80=99.  This happens when hydra.gnu.org is overloaded =
as
you suggest, so perhaps we have a connection closed unexpected or
something like that, but still.

Since this is the multithreaded =E2=80=98substitute-binary=E2=80=99, could =
there be
something fishy going on in wrt. threads?
