Public bug reported:

Tests that may segfault but usually don't should be treated much the same as 
tests that may have warnings when added to EXCEPTIONS.
Case in point bug 1567840. datepicker tests only fail under very specific 
circumstances or with special environment variables. Assuming they always crash 
effectively erases test coverage until there's a fix. If they could be treated 
like having warnings on the other hand they would run fine in most cases.

** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
     Assignee: Christian Dywan (kalikiana)
         Status: Fix Committed
