Yep, and the "merlin-" here is just referring to a particular machine.  These are both
tests which can have intermittent failures due to their non-deterministic nature (waiting
for the garbage collector to kick in and free memory/run finalizers).  You might want
to make sure the tests pass over multiple runs but generally speaking if they pass once
then things are working.
