Yesterday my smoker produced two fails while 4 processes were testing Inline 0.53:

It's possible that these two were disturbing each other, they were both distrubed by some other, succeeding test run. I smoked with 4 parallel processes. It's not for the first time this happens, I have produced more fail reports in the past but not always they come in pairs. But I have not seen more than two in a row.

There seems to be a race condition somewhere.

HTH,
