I would probably be the best candidate and I would work on it if a
machine was donated.

FWIW, I have a multi-cpu machine and have, in the past, run the
supposedly failing tests for days without problem.

Btw, please don't include raw email addresses in your replies.

Hello Christopher,

The problem only appears if there is something else running
on the box that is creating processes, such as a large make,
or some other kind of heavy load. 

I've run the test for a good day or so on a box with no other load, and 
the 
problem didn't occur, but doing several makes and/or builds in Visual 
Studio at 
the same time, and the bug would occur very quickly.

P.s.  I've tried to get this stupid Lotus notes to not send any raw email 
addresses, but
it's hard to tell what it is really sending, as it doesn't show me what 
the e-mail will 
look like to you.    Notes is a major pain-in-the-ass, but it's what I'm 
stuck with here.
