An error occurs, which is logged to stderr, but the benchmark logs don't capture stderr so it's hard to know what's happening. (Or maybe Play redirects stderr to a log file?)

The test passes in the preview runs, in the TechEmpower continuous integration tests and in the EC2 tests so it's probably some transient error that only occurred in the final bare metal test. Maybe there's a race condition in the Play 2 test scripts which only shows up sometimes.

I've spent a fair bit of time maintaining the Play 2 benchmark tests so it's very frustrating to get no result on the final test. Oh well!

Out of the box, the start script from "play stage" does not redirect stderr.

Though I didn't think to check the classpath when I was poking around the TechEmpower github repo. I wonder if a logback.xml slipped in somewhere that's siphoning off stderr to some unknown destination?
