it's a good idea to investigate the failures. I would have it build
only HEAD though, because we're not likely to backpatch these fixes.

If we want to have it run only HEAD I would say you should create a new
animal.

Perhaps you should wait until after 9.2 has been released, though, to
avoid distracting people :-)
