forkprocess01 in the "Daily report for head"

Hello,

In today's (2007-July-18) "Daily report for head"

  http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-July/036864.html

I find

> New unexpected test failures:
>
>     forkprocess01  1  tnaur PPC OSX head

Now, forkprocess01 normally fails on the tnaur PPC OSX head builder, but there 
is some timing dependency which could cause it to succeed in some cases (trac 
ticket#1391), so that's OK. On the other hand, I would expect it to have been 
reported as "fixed" also in an earlier daily report. However, I cannot find 
such mention in yesterday's (2007-July-17) report

  http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-July/036823.html

whereas, in the report day before yesterday (2007-July-16),

  http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-July/036800.html

it is reported as failing, as usual:

> Old unexpected test failures:
> ...
>     forkprocess01       1  tnaur PPC OSX head

I thought I understood how these reports were generated, but apparently, I am 
wrong. Any easy explanations for this would be appreciated, but this is, of 
course, not a major problem.

Thanks and best regards
Thorkil
