+An alternative approach would be to fix \r
+\r
+ NOTMUCH_SKIP_TESTS="reply reply-to-sender multipart.37 from-guessing" ./notmuch-test\r
+\r
+to return exist status 0, and ideally to print the correct number of\r
+tests skipped.\r
+\r
+I think the former just requires patching line 85 of\r
+aggregate-results.sh. I don't see an easy way to do the latter.\r
+\r
+This is arguably less crufty, or at least uses existing cruft. On the\r
+other hand, it doesn't distinguish between a test printing an extra\r
+space, and complete garbage.\r
