Hmm. Now that you mention it, the one repro on the M1 came just as
I was about to give up and manually cancel the script that was running
the 027 test in a loop. I wondered for a moment if I'd somehow
affected the state of the machine, but since I was logged in over ssh
I didn't quite see how that would be possible. But your tale makes me
suspect that outside activity helps --- which would square with
Alexander's results that suggest concurrent runs help.
