I did that now. I couldn't reproduce it locally, despite a lot of
runs. Looking at the buildfarm it looks like the failures were,
excluding handfish which failed without recognizable symptoms before and
after, on BSD derived platforms (netbsd, freebsd, OX), which certainly
is interesting. I asked Thomas Munro whether he could run on freebsd,
and he gave me a login, where I just now reproduced the issue (2 of 5
make check runs failing).
