In the mean time I updated the buildbot config to run the tests
separately.  I don't know offhand if buildbot 0.7.4 supports the
interlocks documented in 0.7.9's documentation[1], so I just created a
new scheduler that runs the other set of tests 2 hours later.

Speaking of temporary files, running the tests leaves over a 100 new
temporary files and directories in /tmp every night.  I had to create a
cron script to clean them up to avoid completely filling up the disk.
