Hi Robert, Todd, All,

I think both I and commit e9baa5e9fa147e are confused.

Mantid started to fail with the parallel hash join commit, with the following
assert failure [1]:

the reason this confuses me is that the PHJ commit hasn't changed
anything relevant here. Testing force_parallel_mode=regress locally also
shows that the failure is present before the commit.

Why mantid's earlier builds don't show the problem, even though I can
locally reproduce the issue escapes me.  Todd, did you recently change
anything on Mantid?

By my reading this is the fault of e9baa5e9fa147e [3]. Robert, Haribabu
any idea?

Greetings,

Andres Freund
