Research direction

The issue identifies transient failures in the queue-runner and reports an unexpected end-of-file while building a store path on localhost. Start by examining queue-runner logs around one failure and reproduce the error if possible; done means identifying a reliable diagnostic path or a specific cause and documenting it.

Description

I'm getting a lot of errors like:

possibly transient failure building _.../store/9hys3avzr521lq4np8xdjc489mj5qhl5-....drv_ 
on _localhost_: unexpected end-of-file

What's the best way to debug them?
