 Yeah, I can't say I'm surprised.
 
 If this is happening on the same hw as 51660, Martin's concern there
 about addresses is probably also valid. I don't know how to interpret
 the information posted there, though. :-/
 
 I think the issue he's referring to is the same as the one described
 in PR 32938 (and probably also PR 27299) -- at one point I had my head
 in that stuff and had figured out what was going on, but it was years
 ago...
