Comment (by wmb at firmworks.com):

 I made it fail on my B4 with the following command:

  ok  test /flash   test /cpu:2

 It fails quite often, but not every time, with that command (battery out).

 I have not seen it fail with other tests instead of "/flash" .  On
 possibility is that the FLASH test, which involves checksumming the SPI
 FLASH, is interfering with the EC operation by doing constant FLASH
 fetches over the LPC bus, thus preventing the EC from accessing its
 instruction memory.
