It turns out that Tutorial=0 means "auto" and -1 means "off". With auto tutorials, the hphpd.hdf file got updated and test behavior got flaky. Even worse, the non ASCII characters in the tutorial output broke the test runner in a way that made it look like tests passed when you put up a differential, only to fail in contbuild.
We've got some tests that are giving us control chars in their output on contbuild machines. We haven't been able to repo locally yet. Disabling them for now until the test harness can be improved to avoid crashing in these cases.
Note: this diff will likely go thru multiple iterations as more are uncovered.
These tests failed on the continuous build server, so we disabled them. Since then many other tests have failed and there is no good reason to suspect these tests of being especially flaky, so we may as well re-enable these tests.
test/quick/debugger/break1.php and test/quick/debugger/break2.php are failing on the the continuous build machines. Disable these tests while we figure out what is going on.
