Doug, please change this to "high priority" platforms.

One of the Sandia gcc-4.2.1 machines ran out of disk space, and there is 
some other platform-wide problem causing Sandia intel-linux-9.0 failures.

The failures on these two platforms completely obscure the real failures 
we need to be worrying about. Since you are already recognizing that 
there is something really wrong, could you not report the detail for 
these platforms? Anyone who wants to see the details can go to the 
regression reports on the web.

Maybe a legend at the top that explains what this means? Or am I the 
only one who wonders what a "non-broken platform" is?

Thanks,
