Comment (by ahf):

 I ran the tests on 32-bit x86 Windows 10 for ~4.5h yesterday and didn't
 manage to hit this test failure. I let the same machine run over night
 with a 64-bit x86 build and also didn't see the test failure there.

 MinGW version:

 x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: 6.3.0 20170516
 i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: 6.3.0 20170516

 PowerShell code to run the tests in a loop:

 {{{
 while ($true) { .\test.exe circuitpadding/... ; if ($LastExitCode -ne 0) {
 break; } }
 }}}

 Maybe we should move this to needs_information?
