Somebody else was wondering the same earlier this week. But there isn't
such a large variety of OpenCL drivers (or whatever the correct term is)
on OS X. Either or code is sliughtly buggy, or there is a bug in Apple's
OpenCL implementation that manifests itself when the code happens to
execute on a specific OpenCL device (i.e. the CPU or a specific GPU).
But the OpenCL driver version number as seen by our code is the same in
all cases on a certain OS X version, I think. Not sure if we can
blacklist only based on OpenCL driver version, or also specific
driver+device combinations.

in any case, somebody needs to investigate *why* the test is failing for
some, as it may fail for end users too in some scenario then; just
disabling it on Mac is not the best strategy :)


It doesn't fail reliably, and it only seems to happen under high load.

Anyhow, it's been failing for months and no-one has stepped up, so I commented it out so I can stop 
ignoring the buildbots.
