Seems to happen a lot lately but only on aarch64 and apparently not all the time, currently green at time of writing.
Exit code 31744 >> 8 = 124, meaning "command terminated by SIGTERM". Maybe a race condition due to multiple background processes – which we shouldn't even spawn when we just want to call "--help" – which only really shows up on aarch64 as it's slower.

Suggestions¶

• For now exclude the test from OBS checks on aarch64
• Check the "--help" route, and see what else might be running in the background
• Fix the problem

Rollback steps¶

• Enable test on OBS checks again
