Please do not comment out tests which are broken (I have no idea
why). The proper way is to tag them as :unstable, as explained in
test/README. By this, all of us won't see them when running "make
check", and you could still run the tests on your local machine while
fixing them.

Once stabilized, remove the :unstable tag.

Best regards, Michael.
