Hello,

I've been playing around at work with the Jenkins Docker plugin and right 
before making it available, I hit a strange behavior that holds me from 
using it widely for now.

I have a pretty simple setup with few images I made myself but I only 
install the tools I need, set up a jenkins user and add our public key then 
finally start a SSH server. The plugin is configured to contact a Docker 
deamon over TCP on a CoreOS instance.
It very straightforward and works fine. I can even start a container from 
one of these images manually and create a new node out of it if a 
persistent slave is needed.

But from time to time (quite often in fact), the plugin takes a little bit 
of time to start up a container or may be to ssh into it, I can't really 
say (I'm not talking about the first time where the image needs to be 
download from the registry). When that happens, it spawns another 
container, and then another one... and another one... It's generally not 
more than 3 or 4 for one build but the containers are left there and never 
killed. I can stop them manually of course from the interface or the host 
but I don't think that's an expected behavior. It's not a glitch since the 
containers are very well alive on the host.

I've seen this behavior mentioned once in a previous thread from a while 
ago but no further discussion about it. I'm not sure where to start looking 
for answers, let me know if that belongs to the Jenkins Developers group.

Has anybody experienced that as well and may be has some 
answers/explanations?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Alexis.
