Hmm. It's surprising to not see a higher occurence. My buildfarm
host has caught that on its first run after the patch, for two
different animals which are both on the same machine.

Perhaps you'd prefer that I do more tests with your patch? This is
time-consuming for you. This is not a review of the internals of the
patch, and I cannot give you access to the host, but if my stuff is
the only place where we have a good reproducibility of the issue, I'm
OK to grab some time and run a couple of checks to avoid again a
freeze of the buildfarm.
