Oh, it's quite likely that my test case is flawed and it does already
work - maybe we should just upload it and see what the reproducibility
tests say then, and handle any problems that come up then.

But, this will have to wait a while - Allegro5 is involved in the time_t
transition which has asked to avoid uploads during the transition.
(We'll have to wait a few days if I'm not mistaken).
