There are several tests which fail only on EMBA. Especially tests, which
use asynchronous processes, or file notifications.

The reason is not clear. One suspicion is that there might be a kernel
bug in Trisquel GNU/Linux 8.0, the operating system running on the EMBA
machine.

For the time being, these tests have been marked to skip. Look for
(getenv "EMACS_EMBA_CI") calls in the test/ subdirectory. If I haven't
miscounted, there are 26 such calls.

Best regards, Michael.
