Yes! :)
It (randomly?) pings back and forth between success and failure for no
reason I can fathom.

http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12698548    # works, trunk r117565
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12699658    # fails, trunk r117566
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12711693    # works, trunk r117567

It has been doing this for a while, in emacs-24 branch too.
It usually works, but once in a while it fails.
