Well, if the same errors happen also w/o that patch, I believe we are
safe to install the patch in master.

In general, I need to debug what happens, the ert reports are not
sufficient (for me) to understand what's going wrong. Do you know how to
get an MS Windows VM instance? I would be even willing to pay for a
license.

I have a spare server which runs already VMs, like the FreeBSD instance
I've just taken for the kqueue tests.

Best regards, Michael.
