Well, unfortunately, this does seem to be one of those modules where a 
difference in CPU or architecture can have a large impact on behavior. In any 
case, I'll look at setting up the tests to run in a loop and see how well they 
do. And I guess that I'll have to spend some time debugging std.parallelism to 
at least figure out exactly _what_ is causing a segfault, though I question 
that I'll be able to actually fix the problem without spending a considerable 
amount of time learning how std.parallelism works.
