When we run the old-school version of XTS, the old 'xreg' script starts the
server and then runs each test in its own server generation.  Have you
observed any tests that PASS when run as a set that FAIL on their own?

I'm all for not having to do that -- server generations are pretty slow,
and we've destroyed at least one CRT by forgetting to turn it off first.
