So this resolves the issue with tests returning skipped, but we'll
need to change the leap-a-day test to default to the specified
arguments above, as it runs indefinitely w/o arguments. Thus with the
patch above, make run_destructive_tests never completes.

I'll scratch a patch out to make the change in defaults.
