My only claim was that I have a set of steps that can reliably reproduce an error on my system, not that these steps will reliably reproduce it on an arbitrary system, e.g., yours. Still, being able to reliably reproduce an error, even if only on one system, is *very* useful. just misunderstood your use of the word "reliable". Certainly having

So, to be clear, you see recache errors sporadically and for different sets of tests across different runs, and you are running validate with no extra arguments, single-threaded, on a Linux x86_64 system with an ext4 file system? Yes, except I would say "very often" instead of "sporadically". I'm not sure about single-threaded. I run validate without any parameters - doesn't it use more then one thread in this case?
It looks like running validate without any parameters will use 2 threads. I've pushed a fix (I hope) for this issue. Could you check and see if it's fixed for you now? Geoff
