I used to always make releases by building locally.

Thats interesting.

We could organize a swat team to dig in. It'll take a bit of work. Seems like a bunch of flakey tests and then there are the times it passes where a test is hung (but it looks like all passed). > Jean-Marc said many tests fail as part of a bigger run and than pass when run > in isolation.
