It looks like the CI machines are too noisy/contended. The avg_dev is
very high. Probably we could relax the dev_ratio threshold to 0.2 or
0.3. Although we would still get failures occassionally. As this is a
probabalistic test.

Could you change the script so that it passes so long as the test
returns TPASS or TFAIL?

We don't want TBROK, TCONF or no result.

Richard.
