The core problem is not specific to VMs, just immensely more likely on
them, or Windows, than most modern Unix.  The issue is that the current
timestamp was used as a uniqueness key.

Anything to do with internal corruption of the PTree like this, I
suggest trying 1.1.4 with my uniqueness fixes and see if that solves the
issue.
