1393	src/gc/api.c: Intermittent test failures at line 245 since r43211	jkeenan	jkeenan	"Observed on Linux/i386.  When I run a smolder test, I get a `FAIL`:
{{{
t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t .............. 
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/2 subtests 

Test Summary Report
-------------------
t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t            (Wstat: 256 Tests: 2 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  2
  Non-zero exit status: 1
Files=340, Tests=12168, 254 wallclock secs 
  ( 1.80 usr  0.19 sys + 63.86 cusr  8.54 csys = 74.39 CPU)
Result: FAIL
}}}
But when I run the individual test file, it `PASS`es:
{{{
$ prove -v t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t
t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t .. 
1..2
ok 1 - This made Parrot m4 fail
ok 2 - parse FASTA
ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=2,  0 wallclock secs 
  ( 0.01 usr  0.01 sys +  0.34 cusr  0.05 csys =  0.41 CPU)
Result: PASS
}}}
First observed at r43237 on Dec 24.  Still occurring on Dec 26 at r43246.  Also observed by cotto.

No substantive changes in the test file itself since Nov 15.  I suspect the problem emerged between r43138 and r43237 (inclusive) -- a span that appears to have had a branch merged in.
