This was an error in the conversion to ncld. In the cldc code, we kick the state machine and the natural retries do the rest. Any failures occure there. But in ncld the original kick can fail too. Five retries give CLD server time to reboot. If it's down, then clients refuse to start. This may be a bad idea, or may be not. We may yet change the retries to be infinite, but for now it's better if builds terminate somehow in case of unexpected problems.
