Apparently there is at least one (and I suspect several) Guile tests whose outputs are nondeterministic. If so, could we make those tests always succeed? I say this because I imagine it is very confusing for users who don't know what's happening to see a test fail, and still have a working Guile. It might also confuse smart build systems like Nix that check for test failures. :-) I said make it always succeed, rather than remove it, because it is still important for developers who know what's going on to be able to run it and get some sort of output. Alternatively, the test could be to run the same program several times and return true if some high proportion of the runs succeeded. That would at least cut down on the number of false negatives.
