Unfortunately due to computer issues here at the AEI, the automated tests (http://damiana2.aei.mpg.de/~ianhin/testsuites/einsteintoolkit/) didn't run between 9th and 25th of November. All the currently-failing tests started failing some time between those dates.

There are timer files committed to the test directory of the CarpetIOASCII tests which will cause the tests to fail, but the tests are also failing due to other problems.
