Description
This started failing, maybe as part of the recent spate of failures?

I can't repro on my win64 setup: it passes 20x in a row there.
When I put in tmate and ran just this test: it passed!
https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/actions/runs/6802953296/job/18497172665?pr=6414
I repeated, with tmate enabled on success too, and again it passed:
https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/actions/runs/6803115563/job/18497701618?pr=6414
I logged in and ran ctest --repeat-until-fail 50 -R burst_traceopts and it
passed all 50 times. Grrr. Yet another failure we can't reproduce unless it
lands on a certain VM in the GA cloud??
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with clients/drcachesim/tests/burst_traceopts.cpp at line 265 and suite/tests/runmulti.cmake at line 111 to understand the failing status assertion. Run ctest --repeat-until-fail 50 -R burst_traceopts on win64, then compare behavior with the referenced GitHub Actions jobs. Done means identifying the nondeterministic cause and making the test pass reliably in CI.
