If you haven't already, note that it's OK to post proposed patches to
the tracker even when they're still causing test failures - just note
that you know the patch is incomplete, and explain the errors that
you're seeing.

Core developers will often be able to spot relevant problems through
code review, and we're also pretty practiced at interpreting the
sometimes cryptic failures that the test suite can emit.

Cheers,
Nick.
