Subject: What's up with gcov.php.net?
From: ajf@ajf.me (Andrea Faulds)

Hi everyone,

If any of you have looked at http://gcov.php.net any time in the last 
three years, you'll probably have noticed an alarming and inexplicably 
high number of test failures. And if you've looked at Travis, you'll 
have seen much more reasonable numbers (i.e. usually zero).

So, I'd like to ask, why does gcov.php.net always show such high 
numbers, and apparently has things that are fixed show up as broken, and 
secondly, since we use Travis for continuous integration these days, why 
is the box even still running?

Thanks!
