It has also stopped failing on production too, so whichever mirror was
triggering the problem has stopped now. However, we need to treat mirrors as
hostile and cope with rubbish - this is the sort of thing we wrote the
mirror prober to detect! A script that is designed to detect broken mirrors
that fails when it detects a broken mirror is a bit silly.
