Yeah, I got an ec2 failure mail (with the error in
test_dateDueOldPreviousResult that's being discussed on the list) saying:

16911 tests run in 3:46:21.564715, 0 failures, 1 errors

so, yeah, seems like an easy win, and saves us maybe $1 a run to boot
:-) When we can land changes again, I guess I should change the default.

Here's hoping!
