Comment(by drkirkby):

 There seems to be a '''lot''' of doctests which are failing in a non-
 reproducible way.

  * elliptic_curves/BSD.py #9273 (Whilst #9316 is supposed to fix the
 spurious "# File not found" error at end of doctests, BSD.py has still
 failed for me in non-reproducible way. See #9449 which shows the output of
 {{{make ptestlong}}} First BSD.py fails without printing the  "# File not
 found" message, then it passes.
  * devel/sage/sage/misc/trace.py - see #9446
  * devel/sage/doc/fr/tutorial/programming.rst - see #9449, where this
 failed first time, but subsequently passed on the same computer, with the
 same build of Sage. (Though a couple of patches were applied the second
 time).
  * devel/sage/sage/schemes/plane_curves/constructor.py - again see #9449
 which failed once, then passed on a second run.
  * devel/sage/sage/parallel/decorate.py
 This failed both times, but on the first time it failed, the test was
 reported to have a 0 failures!
 {{{
     sage -t     -long devel/sage/sage/parallel/decorate.py # 0 doctests
 failed
 }}}
 After adding patches #8641, #9243, #9316 which are related to the
 doctesting framework, this was at least reported as one doctest failing in
 {{{devel/sage/sage/parallel/decorate.py}}}
 {{{
        sage -t  -long devel/sage/sage/parallel/decorate.py # 1 doctests
 failed
 }}}
 I'm not however convinced that the addition of  #8641, #9243 and #9316
 were the result of the improved behavior, as other tests still failed with
 0 reported failures.

 '''IT SEEMS TO ME, THE DOCTESTING FRAMEWORK IS BROKEN IN SAGE NOW'''
