Well, I pushed again the submit button (after I said a little pray) and it fails in the same please (it seems God doesn't like me anymore). I really don't believe it has something to do with the heavy multi-tasking on the CI machines (or with God) ... to me it looks that the test is broken or something went in that make it breaks every time, but I wonder how that something got in, in the first place...
