[wp-testers] Automated Testing Failing

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

The test suite should be for Trunk, Older branches may run, but some tests  
will fail.

Not all tests will pass IIRC, Some are edge cases which are known but not  
handled.

For reference, Here's my output:


←[37;41m←[2KFAILURES!
←[0m←[37;41m←[2KTests: 489, Assertions: 2382, Failures: 138, Errors: 40,  
Skipped: 17.
←[0m←[2K

So if you're getting something similar, then everything should be "right"
