Not everything is equally important.

I did run the test suite in an unusual configuration, identified two 
unexpected test failures, debugged the tests, reported two issues with 
the first affected RTEMS version and a target milestone, and fixed the 
issues on the master. This is enough work for bugs which probably affect 
only one person on this planet.
