Daniel is working on investigating the isolationtester thing. See a mail on
one of the threads where initial indications were the "atomics with no real
atomics" (or whatever you'd call it) were to blame. We could redo that
thing without atomics to get rid of that (and possibly should), but it
would be good to figure out if it's actually broken first, so that part can
get fixed if it is.
