Lev and I are addressing this off-list, but as I mentioned in my
original email the port maintainer should attempt to understand the
nature of the failure on bento before writing it off as "it must be a
bug with bento".

More often than not these problems are due to an unconsidered
difference between the maintainer's system and bento, which would be
seen in an analogous real-world environment.
