I've been playing with this for a couple of days now, and even with skipif
files for what I thought were the offending directories I end up getting
the following output (
https://gist.github.com/chriswailes/a1b0c4d8df4eb983607c) before the
paratest.server script fails.  Running start_test works just fine, but if I
try to run even 4 tests at once on my quad-core, hyperthreaded machine, I
get these error messages.

I haven't been as diligent with my rebasing as I should have been, so the
last time I know the mainline's version of the scripts worked was on
January 29th.  Does anyone know what might have changed since then to have
caused this problem?  Before I was able to run 10 tests at a time on this
same machine.  I'm about to head home now, but tomorrow I'll run a binary
search on the commit history to try and pin down the commit that caused
this to stop working.
