 With [https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/6ce9149bfbfb25b425465e3ed5ed0d0542790d04 6ce9149b],
 three times in a row, I've gotten an error like this in "build-alpha":
 {{{

 Once, it was in a different place, still in utils for windows:
 {{{

 }}}
 The console output is:

 The linux build didn't have the problem.
