It reproduces if we run both test_buffer and test_translate together
(py.test test_buffer.py test_translate.py).

It wouldn't be a bad idea.  Note that we should check again if it
would be OK to reinstall bencher4 in a way that we fully control
(including giving accounts to people at our discretion), which would
save us the trouble of looking elsewhere.  But maybe it still isn't
possible to do that...


A bientôt,

Armin.
