Bug#1052257: diffoscope crashes(?) comparing some i386 debs (and others)

[Holger Levsen]

hi,

from #debian-reproducible just now:

<h01ger> and there we go again, first mosh connection lost after disabling i386 workers.
             * | h01ger sighs. at least i was hopeful for a few hours
<h01ger> while running diffoscope on an armhf deb

so I've powercycled the machine and also disabled the armhf workers now.
(under the (weak) assumption that this bug is mostly trigged when running
diffoscope on 32bit .debs...)

though maybe the arch observation is a red herring and the real cause is too
many diffoscope processes running at the same time:
