As yet another data point, I've only seen those when I ran 'make spectest' (which is run in parallel on my machine), not when I ran them individually, independently on how often. So I looked into them, and they both contained the line my $filename = 'tempfile'; and the rest is common sense and race conditions. I hope I "fixed" that in (pugs) r24996 by using different temp file names. So if nobody reports another failure with spectests r24996 or newer I'll close this ticket soon. Cheers, Moritz
