That is probably what that error message usually means, but it wasn’t what it 
meant in this case.  Here were the symptoms:

1.  The error message persisted for several days.
2.  The error message would not go away when switching browsers (or when 
refreshing the page).
3.  The error message applied to every Salsa CI job for this specific 
repository, including historic job where I used to be able to view the logs, 
but it did not apply to any other repository I tested.  Meaning, I could load 
up any Salsa CI job from this repository and receive this error message, but I 
didn’t have any problems viewing any Salsa CI log from any other repository in 
a neighboring tab.
4.  The error message persisted when I switched to a custom runner and reran 
the job.
