Subject: unstable test results (on hydra)

Package: emacs
Version: 25.1

On hydra (at least), some tests fail in one iteration and succeed in the
next, for no clear reason. This cause noise on the emacs-buildstatus
mailing list and makes it harder to spot real problems.

Someone (TM) should look into this and try to figure out if the tests
really have a problem, or if the problematic ones should just be
disabled on hydra.

eieio-test-37-obsolete-name-in-constructor is one I have noticed several
times.

Failed: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/40880158
Passed: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/40890883

There were no relevant changes between those builds.
