Yeah, there have been half a dozen failures since deadlock-parallel
went in, mostly on critters that are slowed by CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
or valgrind.  I've tried repeatedly to reproduce that here, without
success :-(.  It's unclear whether the failures represent a real
code bug or just a problem in the test case, so I don't really want
to speculate about fixes till I can reproduce it.
