I had a look at the failing test today, and it appears fairly subtle. I
think it involves picking the correct memory ordering for atomics on
weak-memory-model systems, which I’ve never been great at. I’ll keep
investigating, but in the meantime, I’ve uploaded 0~20220623.0-2, which
just disables the problematic test. This should clear up the FTBFS.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do!
