Well, I noticed that it is much more likely to happen when the machine
is busy with other tasks. If the machine is otherwise idle, the problem
doesn't seem to occur.
Doing something like:
while (true) do ./gctest; done
then running something else like a compile or benchmark at the same
time, seems to help reproduce the problem on some machines.
