I attempted to determine if there ever was an old svn revision that would
pass stress.Mix test on my rhel 2-way SMP box.  Unfortunately the unified
classlib/vm build changed the how one gets an old revision from the
repository.  I don't know if its worth trying to resurect an old svn
revision.  I am hoping someone will confirm if stress.Mix ever ran
successfully on 2-way and 4-way boxes.  This seems way easier than trying to
reconstruct old build.xml files.
