Yeah, it's finicky.
Hopefully Brendan's change to cleanly shutdown the kernel at the end
of the tests might make it a bit more robust (still probably requires
gcc-6).

Thanks for running it!
It's nice to know we have 100% (line) coverage.

Yeah, it's frustrating...
Andy sent out some changes renaming a lot of the files, but we've not
managed to get everything up to date.
