Sorry, I should have specified that those 5 were all found in roughly
a one-month period (December).  Some of the problems (e.g., the
Solaris hang) preceded the snake-farm.  Had the snake-farm been
around, we would have found the problem sooner.

Also, because the 5+ problems were found within a day of checkin,
it was very easy to figure out the culprit.

My point was the snake-farm is doing its job.  It is a nice benefit.
But it would be even better if we could get it stable, so there's only
green.
