I'm not sure about that test--and don't have time at the moment to look
into it.  Generally, I think that unexpected failure just means that we
fixed a bug and failed to modify the test suite to take that into account.
But I'm not sure.  The perl side of the test suite is more powerful than
the shell-script side, but I understand it far less.  :(

Yes, we would be interested in having such a system.  It would be
especially helpful if darcs developers were given accounts on at least some
of the machines in the BuildBot cluster, particularly those weird platforms
(e.g. Windows) that many of us don't otherwise have access to.
