I suppose it couldn't been some condition that they weren't accounting
for in their test suite. I don't know since I never followed up on
what the fix was once I got my box working.
I brought it up because I think it's a great example of how, even if
Rust is a "safer" language than C, porting working, stable code to a
new language always brings with it risks.
