 Please note that it doesn't fail on the same script:

August build:
  post-setup.rb: median_filter.rb example returned error code 6

Yesterday's build:
  post-setup.rb: sketch.rb example returned error code 6

  I don't know what is causing this, but I'm not sure it is
librmagick's entire faults. Wild guesses would include ruby and/or
imagemagick (with a strong preference for Ruby, since it messes up the
stack).

  I'll try to see if there is something obviously wrong in the
allocation code, but I'm afraid the (bad) fix for now will be to
increase the tolerance for failed tests, at least on sparc (it fails
at the second one, for now).

  Cheers,

      Vincent
