Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Is there a way how "state" could be preserved across patchbot runs?  Could
 it happen that the patchbot tests ticket X and somehow ticket X has a bug
 causing failures in ''following'' tickets the patchbot tests?  Because it
 looks like this is happening here.

 I did 600 test runs of `maxima_abstract.py` on vanilla sage-5.1.beta2 and
 found no error.  Nobody has reported this bug on the mailing list and I
 haven't seen it on the buildbot with sage-5.1.beta2 or earlier.  So I
 conclude that the bug is introduced by a not-yet-merged ticket.

 Since it is extremely unlikely that all the tickets in kini's list above
 cause the same bug, the most logical explanation is that somehow one
 ticket corrupted further patchbot runs.
