Doh

But the bigger question is. Are we really concerned about this flaky
problem? Is it worth investing time and money on? I can get money to
go buy a G4 or G5 and spend some time on it. It just seems a bit...
niche. But if it's a real bug that represents something broken on
other architectures that just happens to be easier to trigger here it
might be worthwhile.
