 Replying to [comment:7 nickm]:
 > How much hardware/software would I need to reproduce this?  If Rob and
 Kevin are the only ones who can reproduce this bug, it's going to be
 trickier to solve it than if everybody could repeat it.

 I've been using the [https://shadow.cs.umn.edu/plugins/ small size
 network] (found in
 [https://github.com/shadow/scallion/tree/master/resource
 scallion/resource]). I've found this generally runs in about 10 GiB of
 RAM. You can run this on a m1.xlarge or m2.xlarge EC2 instance as
 described [https://shadow.cs.umn.edu/cloud/ here].
