[Ros-release] Pre-release build failed, release build did not

[Shaun Edwards]

Jack,

I've seen that happen as well.  I actually tried the pre-release build 5
times throughout the day and they all failed.  I may have gotten lucky, so
I sent the original email to see if anybody else had the same experience.
