We don't automatically mark ports as BROKEN if they fail to pass a
test -- if we did, a great many more ports would be unavailable,
because most ports don't perform perfectly.  Often test failures are
caused by the conditions in which the tests are run, or are due to
problems in the testsuite, or represent uncommon or minor problems
that should ultimately be fixed, but don't render the port useless in
the meantime.
