intermittent type inference of `Any` in CI

[fredrikekre]

Seen this a couple of times on the circle-ci and the bsd worker, opening an issue to track it. Stacktrace:

Error During Test
  Got an exception of type LoadError outside of a @test
  LoadError: return type RowVector{Float64,Array{Float64,1}} does not match inferred return type Any

Has anybody seen this locally?

[fredrikekre]

No, but I have tried quite a lot on both mac and linux (both 64-bit). It is quite common on the workers now though, both on 64 and 32 bit IIRC.

Exactly. It is all over the place now but I can't reproduce locally. I've tried a couple of systems. Test failures that only happen on CI are pretty annoying.
