Yes, that's correct. The last failure was because of an issue with
Trilinos 9.0.2 on Mac (got a Bus error in some ML tests). I just reverted
to an earlier version (8.0.3) on the mac-osx slave and now the Trilinos
demo worked fine so hopefully the mac-osx slave will turn green after the
next build.

The only remaining problem now is with Open MPI 1.3. The fix we did
earlier today didn't work because the call to 'import cpp' made Python
exit after the exception was raised in this code:

try:
    import cpp
except ImportError, msg:
    ...

We need to come up with a better test.
