Michael was able to switch debian11-vk-1 to the 6.1 kernel (thanks!)
and I've run  5 builds successfully on it, the single build I tried on
debian11-vk3 at the same time failed.

I'm therefore willing to say this is some bug in the 5.10 kernel,
switch our other two workers to 6.1 and call things "resolved".

Yes, ideally we'd track it down and get it fixed properly but we're not
really setup to debug Debian bugs in old releases and we have other
more pressing problems.

Cheers,

Richard
