[New-bugs-announce] [issue24751] regrtest/buildbot: test run marked as failure even when re-run succeeds

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

The buildbots all run the test suite with the '-w', which re-runs any tests that failed in the main test sequence at a higher verbosity level.  More often than not it seems the re-run tests succeed, but the exit code is still 1 so the build is marked as a failure.

The simplest action I'd like would be to exit(0) iff all re-run tests pass on the re-run.  Alternatively, we could try to get a bit fancier and exit with some other return code, and adjust the build master to interpret that return code as "passed, with warnings" and mark the build as amber rather than red.
