mamba has detected a failure in the last test that should start a
bgworker while bypassing the role login check. The buildfarm did not
provide any information about its failure in the logs, but I suspect
that this is caused by an exhaustion of the max_worker_processes slots
set at 8 by default.
In "normal" test runs, the number of bgworkers running at this stage of
the test is already 7, so, if one of them spawns for example a parallel
worker all the slots would be taken, preventing the last worker of the
test to start.
