I now have more infos. It appears there are at least two more CI
accounts coming from this IP address (last octet is 193). I have thus
disabled Hitachi HBSD2 CI (16660) and Hitachi Manila HSP CI (22236) as
well. We will need to sort out what is causing all of these connections
to sit on Gerrit and correct that. Please let us know if you need more
help debugging (though info on our end is fairly sparse, just shows
these accounts associated with the IP, but not which specific account is
creating all of the connections).

Thanks,
Clark
