The end of the unfiltered log is ----------------------------------------------------- 34: __NR_nice 1s 0m ----------------------------------------------------- ==263012== Syscall param nice(inc) contains uninitialised byte(s) ==263012== at 0x415AD57: syscall (in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so) ==263012== by 0x8049EC2: main (scalar.c:193) ==263012== scalar: scalar.c:193: main: Assertion `-1 != res' failed. That means that ftime is not failing. Probably a difference in the Docker virtualization.
Out by one, it was 'nice' not 'ftime'.

On second thoughts, just SUCC_OR_FAIL would be easier, but test a bit less.
Doesn't seem to have fixed the nightly failures, plus this added a stupid typo causing a few failures. commit 4ccb893e7b35e63060e717aa34dc51aecb73b9f2 Author: Paul Floyd <pjfloyd@wanadoo.fr> Date: Sat Oct 25 17:56:50 2025 +0200 Bug 487055 - memcheck/tests/x86-linux/scalar fails running in Docker Also move to 3.27.0.GIT. Will this fix some of the failures in the nightly tests?
