A simple test for performance (no test in parralel) leads to an assertion error deep in autotest:

Looking at moblab qual:

Looking at ./client/bin/job.py, 'client.unexpected_reboot not defined' is not expected, it is set within the try sequence. It set at line 31 in the debug log.
I am wondering if the _record_indent is also lost, leading it be negative.
