Thanks for the bug report Adam! I'm looking into the failure, and haven't
been able to reproduce it yet. I've built my kernel from your tree, and
I ran your script with the kernel.tar tarball 100 times, but haven't gotten
a failure yet. I have a few questions to guide my debugging.

- How many cores are you running with? Iâve run the script with 1, 2, and 4 cores.
- Which version of gcc are you using to compile the kernel? Iâm using gcc-6.2.0-5ubuntu12.
- Are the failures always in exactly the same place, and does it fail 100%
  of the time or just regularly?
