I have tried to reproduce this with an vanilla upstream 5.8-rc4 and the
strace test-suite with

make check -j4

and I wasn't able to after multiple retries. Jiri, just to make sure
this is upstream 5.8-rc4 without any additional patches?
Anything special required to reproduce this in the way you run strace
and so on?
