Some are caused by incorrect unwind info in system libraries which leads
to unwind failures. So it can depend on the system you run on. I believe
on linux you'd need entire system (libc, dynamic linker, ...) built with
GCC 4.5.0+ to eliminate some of the problems.

Some of the sporadic failures depend which instruction the test happens
to request a backtrace, at least when linked to the above issue.

There may be other reasons, but that was one source last I looked.
