Well, I had this example last week where during two builds different test
cases failed, and the third build succeeded. If this is the hardware, what
should I do, reseat the CPU? I think Michael gave me a spare 060 some time

I have the impression, this has become a lot more complicated.

Ah, that will cut down the build time.

Yeah, I know. Maybe I let kullervo cool down a bit.

Thats perfect Fritz Walter Wetter! The weather app says its raining here
too, but I don't see any rain.  Here being an airport 40km away, "our"
weather station is stuck at -1C since January, I don't trust that anymore...
