Description

I've seen this before but never really payed much attention to it. @rocallahan ran into it today. I don't know where that output comes from; a quick scan of util.sh doesn't show any clues. The output can safely be ignored, but it's kind of misleading.

Research direction

Start by examining util.sh and reproducing a failing test that produces a replay.err file containing "Success". Trace where that output is emitted, then verify that the misleading line no longer appears in replay.err for failing tests while the failure information remains available.
