When running the test suite on Fedora 17 (and behind a couple of layers of NAT), I see the following problems:

Intermittently: skipped "Resource 'cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu' is not available"

Consistently (with a couple of tests updated to use the improved assertion methods for containment testing):

I didn't see this error recently so I close this old issue.
