If you want to help, please hold on a second.

Let me give you some background. This is a bug that doesn't happen on
every run. I may stand on one foot and chant things to the god of rain,
then run the test and have it run ok. Therefore I may conclude that my
chanting solved the problem. But you can see how the argument is bogus.
Clearly the god of rain has no bearing on computer code.

So there are many things you could do after which running a script
works, but the important test here is to run the same script repeatedly
and see the frequency with which the problem happens.

So please run the same script 100 times without updating the code from
svn and report back the results.

And how did you come upon the number 2791?
