I could not reproduce the alpha issue when I tried a bit while ago, but
trying on a more conventional setup (x86 without ASan where I usually
use Apple M2 with ASan) did a trick. So here is a fix for alpha and a
patch to reapply commit 55d98e3edeeb17dd8445db27605d2b34f4c3ba85. I
confirmed no failure occurs in 100 trials with the alpha fix.

Very glad to finally have a fix for this. Hopefully a suitable location 
for the cpu_reset can be found. I just wanted to add that I've also run 
the func-alpha-replay test 250 times with no failures whereas before I 
was getting timeouts roughly 10% of the time.
