These must be intermittent problems ... I've seen 161 failing once at 
the very beginning of my tests, but then never again, so I assumed that 
it was a quirk with the test system that got fixed later. Seems like 
that was a wrong assumption. I've never seen 249 failing so far... I'll 
try to do some more tests when I've got some spare time...
