Thanks for the response!

Yea, you are right about the runc and docker versions. I made a mistake in
the way I interpreted this PR to docker (
https://github.com/docker/engine/commit/cbe11bdc6da871bdce0993fddb4ff8a29c476a63)
and was just looking at the commit date and assumed the version bump.

Looking that the reference git sha that we bumped it appears like it wasn't
a runc version bump but it just applied some patches.

Since moving to docker 18.09 appears to be off limits. Is it possible to
only override the runc version without also upgrading docker?
