Can you please provide an example of the problem, perhaps reduced to an automated test-case? As they say, they pass for me. Is your testbed the motivation behind this request? We can certainly explore options such as moving some of the tests to the stress test-suite; however the quid-pro-quo is that we have also analyzed failing cases identified by the stress test and added deterministic fixes for them.
