It would be solvable regardless of being able to turn on debug - it is
just a bit more convenient with debug.

Combining this with your previous comment that policies may be involved,
I think this problem seems more like a case of failure depending on the
previous test run history of the machine than depending on compiler
version or timing.

My next experiment, probably on Monday, will be to run the failing tests
in each of my Ubuntu partitions to see if any of them fail. If not, I
may try setting up a clean new partition that has never run River
before, and see what happens there.
