I don't think we should commit code that we know is broken. I don't believe that this view might be controversial.
Maybe someone should try to reproduce the failure I've seen, and then we should look at fixing it. Maybe it's a local problem.

Also, this patch breaks all current hsdis builds that follow the installation instructions. Either we get revised instructions or the build should be fixed.
