Exactly.
FWIW, I looked through my archive of build failure logs, and found that
the same 'reuse' test failed around September 10th on hydra-slave1, the
Novena donated by Steve Sprang. I know that on a few occasions I forgot
to disable 2/4 cores, and that might have been one of those times.
Actually, right now hydra-slave1 has all 4 cores enabled and it seems to
be doing alright. I also built 'gmp' again on it with 4 cores, and it
passed the 'reuse' test. I aborted the build after that test passed,
and left the build directory in /tmp, so we could try running the
'reuse' test repeatedly if desired.
