So do I.

At one tindy (it's fast amd64) I'd had some strange artefacts:
. sometimes one port was build in parallel ${tinderd_instances}
  times;
. sometimes it took long time to start parallel buildings;
. etc.

It seemed to be a race somewhere. And while looking at the above
mentioned patch I noticed one common directory /tmp/tinderdlock
which was used by all tinderd daemons. Since I've done:
-----
% sed -e 's:/tmp/tinderdlock:/tmp/tinderdlock.$$:g' tinderd
-----
... I've never seen those artefacts.

Hope that helps.
