[JENKINS-61909] ERROR: The container started but didn't run the expected command.

When running an image with an entrypoint:

> ERROR: The container started but didn't run the expected command.

However, when I inspect manually `docker top `, I do see the `cat` command right there.

My entrypoint is of the form:

#!/bin/bash

set -e

source "/opt/some/source.bash"

exec "$@"
