 just misunderstood your use of the word "reliable". Certainly having this 
level of 
reproducibility is very helpful in debugging, even if it's only on one machine.

Yes, except I would say "very often" instead of "sporadically". I'm not sure 
about 
single-threaded. I run validate without any parameters - doesn't it use more 
then one thread in 
this case?
