I wasn't counting those, but the atlas build typically aborts
abnormally in such a way that the error isn't noticed and the
dependent ports try to build.  I haven't investigated why this occurs,
because the atlas package should not be built at all on the cluster
(in order to be useful it needs to be optimized for the local host,
and this cannot be done on a machine running builds in parallel).
