I agree this was the cause, but I'm not able to reproduce the build 
failure locally. The reason that upstream rejected my patch was because 
they said the failure indicated a potentially misconfigured machine and 
so they would prefer to have the test fail in this case.

I'm not really sure what's different about the build machines here 
that's triggering this failure. The previous FTBFS was due to a genuine 
upstream bug when running on a single core machine, so this could be 
something along those lines. Or it could just be a restriction on the 
build machines.

I won't have the chance to look into this for a while, and in any case 
I'm not so familiar with the upstream code or the build machines so if 
anyone has any ideas that would be appreciated.
