Hi. This is still happening (randomly) on reproducible-builds.

I could offer ssh access to a machine where this randomness is
reproducible, but I believe the randomness is intrisic to the
(wrongly designed) test and maybe it happens on any machine
as far as you try enough times.

Can you execute test_verify32 in a loop and report if it fails
randomly or not for you? (Or tell me the way to do it).

Thanks.
