1071	Intermittent failure with t/pmc/os.t test 9	mikehh		"I am getting an intermittent failure with t/pmc/os.t - test 9 on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64.

It has failed twice for me recently - pretty much in the same way (see below) but in both cases when I re-ran the test it PASSed.

In fact in the last couple of days I have run the test many times (considering that it is run 7 times for each of my test runs, once in smoke and 6 times (once for each core) in fulltest.  As I have logged 6 test runs since the first failure (+ other runs not recorded) I have run the test more than 50 times with 2 failures.

Note that the failure (0x4ac081ae expected 0x4abfaa1d) and (0x4ac081ad expected 0x4abfaa1c) in the 9th line of output seems to be the same failure.

I am investigating this further."	bug	new	normal		testing	trunk	medium
