One more:
INCONLUSIVE - test did not FAIL, but did not produce statistically  
valid PASS either.
Used when a test might need to run for, say, 1 week, but instead was  
only permitted/ask to run for one hour. INCONCLUSIVE says that while  
the "frobnitz" (random number generator, whatever) didn't keel over  
and die, we didn't test it long enough for a confident PASS. Or maybe  
this should be a custom status code. :)
