Hi Timur,

Thank you so much for your continued interest in this patch and for
taking the time to report these bugs! It is really appreciated and
your info has been recorded so it won't be forgotten.

Recent work and focus:

* As you might have seen, there have been many changes to master
lately, so I've been rebasing VCI to keep everything building cleanly.
Good news - the existing tests are now working again (locally) after
failing on -hackers for the past couple of weeks. I'm planning to post
the updated patches before the end of this week.

* Once that's done, my next priority is to split the patch 0002 into
smaller, more manageable pieces for easier review.

In other words, it is going to take a little while before I can circle
back to help investigate intermittent bugs.

Regarding your questions:

I'll follow your reproduction steps when I have a chance and get back to you.

I am not aware that this is a known problem.

Thanks again. Sorry I can't be of more immediate help.
