It looks like there’s a race condition—actually, I think I’m abusing this 
term—that occurs when the handin server runs out of memory while 
(re-)evaluating a checker module. Specifically, it appears that following such 
a failure, subsequent attempts to check this assignment simply enter a stalled 
state and eventually report server timeouts. My initial guess would be that 
there’s a “I’m waiting for this module to finish compiling” flag that gets set 
and then not unwound by the OOM, and subsequent attempts see that the flag is 
set and just wait for the (now halted) compilation/evaluation to finish. 

I haven’t yet dived into the handin-server code because I’m hoping that someone 
will tell me that this is a known problem or something with an easy fix :).
