Thanks, that wasn't clear from your original report. As I hinted at in
my previous message, I think you'd get such results through well-placed
bit flips. I'm not aware of Guix itself intentionally or otherwise
causing those, but bit flips are a problem on any modern hardware and
thus I'm sure such glitches will be encountered.
