FWIW, I have spent about a few hours wading through the errors, and am
about 75% done. There are definitely some broken chains that were
causing test results to be ignored (as opposed to just minor setup steps
that we would not expect to fail). In most cases, the tests do passed. I
have a few that I still need to examine more closely, but there may be
some where there are actual test failures (but it's possible that I just
screwed it up while fixing the &&-chaining).
I hope to post something tonight, but I wanted to drop a note on the off
chance that you were actively looking at it at the same time.
