I have no time to look at that, but FWIW with a stress tests on older
machines I have seen something similar from time to time (less than
10% reproducibility ration IIRC).
P.S. Is there is any possibility to have a step-by-step reproducer?
Also can we utilise (and update if needed) the open source project
