be hard to install? I rather doubt hardware bugs or cosmic radiation

In fact in the current case it was something strange which was
non-reproducable with the same sources in the same environment. Thus it must
have been a hardware bug, a race condition or something else (which is what I
call "cosmic radiation" ;-)
