This one is a known failure right now (I need to clean it up).

Suspicious...

Could be that signals are being delivered too quickly and overflowing 
the IO manager's pipe.  We see this failure on our x86/Linux box too, 
but not on x86_64.  Summary: if it's lost signals due to the pipe 
filling up, it's a known issue.
