FWIW, I've run 32 and 64 bit x86 through several hundred regression
cycles, without hitting an issue. For a lot of them I set
checkpoint_timeout to a lower value as I thought that might make it more
likely to reproduce an issue.
Tom, any chance you could check if your machine repros the issue before
these commits?
