As a "semi-official" answer - at least until we decide how to confirm 
it for FT3 - I'd say that you can take your pick between three 
options (ie: agree this as a house rule between all your players 
before the next game):

1) Don't check again, first time-to-failure stands.

2) roll again, but only take the new result if it shortens the time 
to failure. Ignore it if you get the same time or longer than 
previously.

3) Second failed threshold means immediate total failure (remaining 
emergency systems knocked out).
