OK. There was some outage in the facility hosting this machine, and it
went up just a few hours ago. So I killed the current run, and it'll
start chewing on this new commit in a few minutes.
Regarding those leaks we've detected so far - is it the kind of leaks
that can happen only in testing with those specific flags, or is it
something that can happen in production too? (Assuming no one is running
with CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY in production, of course ;-) That is,
does it seem worth the effort running those tests / fixing those leaks?

Tomas
