I've run more hypre/2.15.1-5 tests in testing.   1 fail in 15. So 
certainly there remains an unrepaired race condition.

However, this puts us with only 2 failures in 34 tests.  As far as I can 
tell the failures were more frequent than that before the 2.15.1-5 
patch.

My interpretation is that there is more than one source of race 
conditions. The evidence seems to be that 2.15.1-5 has closed one or two 
of them, even though another one remains.

That makes hypre/2.15.1-5 useful for the buster release. I recommend it 
for unblocking.
