------------------------+---------------------
 This happens more on some machines than others. On my laptop (Debian
 jessie/sid) it only happens about 1 in 10-15 times but weasel reproduced
 it 2/3 times.

 There is already TODO in the source code, but for now I will disable this
 test temporarily in the Debian packaging.
