My test-bed has decided to revert to an earlier failure mode after 
several months of behaving nicely.  I have had one successful build, 
however the atf-run's xml output file was truncated in mid-flight.

The "ticker" output file indicates that things are closer to normal now:

Summary for 402 test programs:
    2194 passed test cases.
    18 failed test cases.
    56 expected failed test cases.
    62 skipped test cases.


Prior to this episode, there was a long period of only a handful of test 
failures, so the current 18 is still quite a bit higher than expected. 
Still ,it is much better than the previous 38 failures.

I'm hoping the test-bed system goes back into remission soon, so we can 
get some reliable results.
