Research direction

Start with pkg/cmd/roachtest/README.md and the failure at test_runner.go:856, then inspect the linked TeamCity log and artifacts for the GCE SSH timeout. Compare the repeated failures in issues #174690, #173564, and #173555. Done means identifying the cause of the ssh_problem failure and documenting or implementing a verified fix for this roachtest path.
