In addition to the other objections, we currently get a lot of false 
positives (fail, retry, fail, retry, succeed), and it would be harder to 
debug these problems if the output was truncated differently each time.

Is anyone working on fixing the perma-failing Quantum test?  When the 
Postgres test was perma-failing, one of the infrastructure folks gave us 
an ultimatum that if nobody fixed it soon, it would be disabled.  (Happy 
ending: Mauro fixed it before it got disabled.)
