> The source for occasional failure of TestLostTracker seems like the following:
> On job completion, JobHistoryFilesManager#run() spawns another thread to move history files to done folder. TestLostTracker waits for job completion, before checking the file format of the history file. However, the history files move might be in the process or might not have started in the first place.
> I am uploading a patch that significantly increases the chance of hitting this race.
