Could you email your entire config. I haven't been able to trigger the
bug again. Maybe your config might do it :-/

Also, how reproducible is it? When it triggered for me, it was constant.
Every boot and test failed. But after I did the make mrproper, I have
not been able to trigger it again. This is why I put it down as a bad
build.
