Indeed. I should have thought of that.
Grabbing http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/snapshot/emacs-master.tar
across doccis works and takes 63 seconds, so the limit is more likely to
be an RLIMIT on the xz(1) process. Perhaps an RLIMIT_CPU of 60 seconds
or an RLIMIT_AS or RLIMIT_DATA which hits after xz(1) spends around 60 s
compressing the emacs tar?
