Ouch, no, I was not aware of that. And this seems a complete no-no to me! That's one of the fundamental tests that we really want to run even if they take a bit of time. Otherwise nobody will notice such failures until late in the development process. Unless someone expresses a strong counter-feeling by Monday, I'll post a patch to revert that.
