Re: Failing tests on GitHub

Yes, it was misleading to put test_sort in the same list. It fails for 
Java 8, everywhere AFAIK (http://bugs.jython.org/issue2399), best dealt 
with in regrtest somehow I suppose.

With test_socket test_sort test_ssl we could exclude them from the 
custom ant regrtest-*, but it would be nicer if the environment allowed 
them to run. (Not testing SSL seems a bit shoddy.)
