Comment(by drkirkby):
If the platform is getting an error, why should the test be disabled? That
seems to defeat the object of a test to me.
People might complain about a test failure, but at least we can make them
aware of the problem. Instead this is covered up.
Many methods of testing software have "expected failures" where a test is
known to fail. We could really do with something like that in Sage. But I
really don't like the idea of disabling a test on every platform, just so
all the tests pass on one platform.
