Could the error be due to the 7-bit encoding in HTTP headers? [1] The
"84" is EILSEQ from errno.h. [2] Wingo added the functionality here. [3]

I left that comment in your bug, and in Bug#59510. [4] I also submitted
a patch to resolve the errno in the future. [5] Then I wrote here in
case anyone sees the error again.

Thank you for your hard work on the Guix infrastructure! Your generous
contributions serve as inspirations to many.

Kind regards
Felix
