Hi Emil,

I think this problem is related to issues reported earlier this summer  
(test results reported are for a test different from what was just  
compiled).  Some instability / reliability issues have crept into the  
testing results over the last few months (I've seen the same problems  
with inconsistent MPI results).  I suspect changes to the XSLT  
processing scripts but I'm not sure (the systems producing the test  
results haven't changed in over a year so I don't think the problem is  
related to changes on our end).  Unfortunately I'm on travel and won't  
be able to investigate this until Sept. 21 or after.  If they haven't  
been resolved by then, please ping me again around this time so I can  
dig into these problems.

Thanks.
