Description
https://ci-release.nodejs.org/job/iojs+release/
About 10 jobs a minute. Possibly triggered by me cancelling a job I just started?
I disabled the job in order to stop the viral reproduction.
I'll try to stop all the jobs, and once that's done, maybe enable it again, and see how it goes.
If anyone has an idea of what went wrong or how to fix it, pls chime in.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the linked iojs+release job at ci-release.nodejs.org and its recent job history, including the cancellation that may have triggered the loop. Determine why it is spawning about 10 jobs per minute and document a safe way to stop the recurrence before re-enabling the job. Done means the cause is identified and the job no longer reproduces the loop.
