I understand that you're frustrated, but I think that you're misinterpreting 
what happened.

I did that. I made the mistake of running a wrong subset though (forgot that 
local xmlhttprequest tests were no longer in fast/dom).

Using commit-queue while it still doesn't provide correct svn blame is trading 
short term problems for longer term ones. Yes, one can still open a changeset 
by number, but having names really helps read svn blame.

I worked with Qt guys on fixing tests on Qt, and I watched the tree, which 
didn't show any sign of a problem from my patch at the time. Perhaps I'm 
starting to rely on sheriff bot too much - it didn't complain about any 
platforms besides Leopard Intel Debug.

Leopard builder was seriously broken yesterday, so I didn't pay attention when 
it complained about a problem many hours later. In retrospect, that was a 
mistake.

I see that Tiger bot still has a unique failure, and will investigate it as 
soon as possible.
