generic/388 is one of the tests we expect to uncover interesting
failures over time.  i.e. every time we fix a problem in these
tests, it will expose another issue that we haven't been able to
exercise until easier-to-hit failures have been fixed.

The best you can do right now is minimise the occurence of failures
by backporting fixes - this test (like generic/475) will continue to
uncover new shutdown and recovery issues as they are exposed by
new fixes. Expecting it to pass 1000 times without failure on an
older stable kernel is, IMO, a somewhat unrealistic expectation...

Cheers,

Dave.
