... or not. In fact, the bug says quite clearly that the test currently
passes on x86 _only_ because it does 200 iterations of <whatever>, and
increasing that number makes it fail on iteration 244. :-(
Interestingly (also stated in bug 192101), it seems to work on RedHat.
So there's definitely something wrong there, and playing with
Architecture: will _not_ be helpful for anybody.
I agree that gnucash is important. I use it myself. ;-) However, if it's
that important then there's two more months to hunt down that bug...
