Not sure what to make of this ... do our tests run too long? But, I've seen this several times, after running 6 hours or so, and running about half of our JUnit suites, the slave appears to "end everything". I have gotten back results once ... so, I do know its possible!

Then, further down, says

Looks like the node went offline during the build. Check the slave log for the details.
