You are indeed right.  And the more tests we add the smaller the
bearable intermittent failure probability is.

I have changed the push gate logic so that it looks for tests of the
same revision, in the way that you did by hand, and doesn't block the
push if it finds that it passed in another run.

This ought to get us pushes more often.  It would still be nice to get
rid of some of these race bugs :-).

Ian.
