I've filed http://crbug.com/9910 for this. It would be great if someone took
this on, even if you just worked out a few flaky tests and then passed it
off to someone else.

Also, another bug that someone could take on that doesn't require
significant programming knowledge is to make the webkit tests runnable on
Vista. It's a lot easier to get a quad-core Vista machine than an XP one
here, so we can run the tests a ton faster on Vista. This is
http://crbug.com/6131. This also would help all the people who currently
build on Vista and need to run the tests on XP.
