Yup, that's why I don't run them.

For what it's worth, when I build git and run tests I tend to be in an environment with apache available, but I'm too lazy to configure git's tests to pick the right port and make sure it is reserved and so on. Perhaps there's some way to help lazy people in the same boat? (E.g., picking a port randomly and skipping instead of failing a test when it's taken or something)
