Details

When a test fails on the unit test box, you usually have to search through the full log to find what failed.  In addition, you have to look for different things for each type of test: "UNEXPECTED " for reftest and "ERROR FAIL" for mochitest and chrome, and for TUnit, look for stacks.

It would be awesome if Tinderbox could parse out the failures and show them in the brief log, or something like that.
It sounds as though the tests need to be modified to return a standard format for the error condition.  In webtools/tinderbox/ep_unix.pl, there's already a generic error test that is meant to be used by smoketests.

      or /Error: /  # . . . . . . . . . . . C or smoketest
