I'm pretty sure that that was x86/Linux 2.6.18-6, but it might have been
amd64/Linux 2.6.18-6 (in both cases, kernel possibly patched by Debian).

Even if it is caused by a known kernel bug, I think skipping it in at
least the 6.8 branch is the right thing to do at this stage anyway.
Having the testsuite go through cleanly on "core" arches means that
people know that any unexpected test results they see on other arches
are worthy of investigation.
