doesn't seem to be repeatable :-(

on the postitive side - the pltcl patch does seem to fix the mentioned
regression failures quagga triggered earlier this year. I did about a
dozends of full buildfarm runs with that patch and about ten manual
executions of the pltcl regression tests without any sign of
misbehaviour so this seems like a clear candidate for at least -HEAD.
