Expect to push tomorrow:
No, it does not resolve the problem. In both of my Hurd machines, with the patch, the 'hash-collision-perf' unit test is still running after 20 minutes. In the Hurd (32-bit) machine, a 'grep --file=in empty' command crashed from signal 6 (SIGABRT); see attached screenshot. Both machines are unresponsive and need to be rebooted.
