It would be easier to make them green than try to devise some
"baseline of failing tests". This is on my list of things to get to,
but I have gotten behind on some of these tasks. Patches are certainly
welcome, and if the test can't reliably pass it would be great to
rethink the test than devise complex solutions to ignore it.

If anyone has input on the tests that are failing (or patches to fix
them) that would be great. I will coordinate with Dave DeMarle and
others on setting aside some time for greening.
