Yes, I committed what I had last night (about 04:35 GMT 1/31).
There are cache-flush-related bugs still left to deal with, but they
seem to be far lower in probability than the ones squashed so far.
I'm finding that even with MAXNUMMESSAGES set to 8, the parallel tests
usually pass; so it seems we need some other way of testing to nail down
the remaining problems.

Hmm. Can you provide a self-contained test case (a script to build the
failing tables, preferably)?
