I see exactly the same problem with the latest Merlin build for x86,
which was filed against the Ladybird build b01 a couple of weeks ago
(please see the bug report 4375077).

Java 2 SDK 1.4 (solx86) intermittently fails the testbase_nsk tests:
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric001
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric002
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric005
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric006
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric009
    nsk/stress/numeric/numeric010
which check JVM accuracy in intensive numeric calculations. The tests
numeric001,002,010 check if a matrix product AxA is correctly computed
in multi-thread calculations, and the tests numeric005,006,009 check
if a matrix product AxA is correctly computed in single thread.

Try the following GammaBase entry to reproduce that problem:
