they are '?'
You can specify a maximum wallclock time for a smoke test. '?' is the
reported status for configurations that did not finish or did not get
run because the smoke was still running when the guillotine
descended.
Is that what happened during the test in question?
See "killtime" on configsmoke.3 man page.
But that would leave you with *one* '?' in the report. I've had many
of those. Bram's report had two '?'s
Good point. A bit of trawling shows Steve Hay was getting (nothing
but) consecutive '?'s in early January reports from Test::Smoke
v1.20.07 build 1123; he upgraded to Test::Smoke v1.29_60 build 1155,
and the problem went away. However, as Bram's report is from
Test::Smoke v1.32 build 1176, that's probably not the answer -- unless
there was a problem that got fixed and then regressed.

[Note to self: upgrade your Test::Smoke.]
