Comment(by sjamaan):

 I think I know why this is so hard to reproduce: the parent waits for a
 random number of milliseconds (which is probably desirable, otherwise it
 might consistently NOT have triggered this bug).  Together with the
 unpredictability of CPU load and OS process scheduling indeterminism it's
 hard to predict if it will go wrong.

 See chicken-hackers for a possible patch which hopefully fixes this _and_
 detects the error.
