Maybe, but still I don't see any changes in the BF client that'd
explain it.  The animal's configuration hasn't changed either;
the only non-comment diff in its buildfarm.conf is

@@ -374,7 +376,7 @@
 
        base_port => 5678,
 
-       modules => [qw(TestUpgrade TestDecoding)],

        global => {

which I changed to follow the lead of build-farm.conf.sample.
But surely that wouldn't affect this!?
