Comment (by mikeperry):

 This failure has nothing to do with channelpadding. It's an assert due to
 crypto_pk_read_private_key_from_string() returning an error code while
 parsing one of PREGEN_KEYS_2048[] from ./src/test/testing_rsakeys.c

 Possibly a MIPS-specific openssl-related issue? Should not be intermittent
 unless our key parsing is non-deterministic...

 If we ran the tests with log level info, then
 crypto_pk_read_from_string_generic() will output a logline telling us if
 the error is in PEM decoding or ASN.1 parsing. Not sure if that will be
 any more helpful, though.
