Hmm, I don't follow your line of reasoning here.

This is not an architecture-specific bug which only happens on
unreleased architectures.

Instead, this happened to me on amd64, which is a release architecture.

The fact that our current amd64 autobuilders have several CPUs is
*accidental*, not a *property* of the amd64 architecture.

Thanks.
