 The stochastic tests are failing the CI as we expected. This is a ticket
 to collect such failures, to eventually see if they are really innocuous
 or there is some underlying bug. At this point I have two such failures
 collected both for the same stochastic test (log-logistic):
 {{{
 slow/prob_distr/stochastic_log_logistic: [forking] fail log logistic
 sampler
 another stochastic test fail
 Seed: D3CF5E3899188E3357D47061E936FF96
 }}}
 {{{
 slow/prob_distr/stochastic_log_logistic: [forking] fail log logistic
 sampler

   FAIL ../src/test/test_prob_distr.c:1390: assert(ok)
 NOTE: This is a stochastic test, and we expect it to fail from
 time to time, with some low probability. If you see it fail more
 than one trial in 100, though, please tell us.

 Seed: 883CEA3493C96F8D59EE7A6554EB594E
 }}}
