They all seem to be the same cause, which I haven't investigated yet.
One solution is just to give up with auto-generating data and bundle a
larger corpus of test data.

The problem comes from the auto-generation step producing files of
differing length.  I hard coded the random number generator and also
put the test system into serial mode so it cannot attempt to run
multiple data generation steps in parallel, but it hasn't cured it.

A simple method is probably the best way to go.
