      Description

      On my system, and at least one other in the wild (see this forum discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=233467), either 2 or 3 unit tests in the complete run always fail. Here is the output:

      There were 3 failures:

      This can NOT be reproduced on Tim's system even though we run on the same infrastructure. I haven't heard of another developer seeing this issue, either. So basically not reproducible.

      It may indicate a problem with my settings in config.php in which case it could be useful to add the answer to the docs page: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Common_unit_test_problems
