I saw the buildbot report for these failures, but thanks for confirming
that these were triggered by my commit, I've seen a few false positives
from buildbot occasionally.

The bad news is that it's not that easy to reproduce.  I have a i386 VM
running Debian here on which I've been testing the patch in question,
and at least for some of the tests in question, everything passes fine
for me here.

Can you give more details about the setup in which the test is being
run?  Is it possible to get access to the machine in question?  I'm
assuming that gdbserver is crashing and possibly dumping core, so just
getting the core file might help.  Or maybe it's a VM? In which case
maybe the image is available somewhere that I might reproduce the
environment locally?

Any help you could offer would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Andrew
