Not before we get more data.  I don't see 0/0 in current master but
rather 1/2 as before.  So we need to get more data (which platform
exactly, which binary etc).  Since I can't reproduce this on current
master and there has not really been any relevant change I can remember,
this points to a bad compilation and/or a platform-specific problem.  Or
something related to garbage collection.  We need to see whether we can
reproduce this on another system.
