I get 13 errors, and 2 failures from RecentMessagesTest after these 
changes. 10 of them are related to the fact, that #initialize doesn't 
initialize all instance variables.
Some of the tests got broken earlier in System-cmm.600.

I think that the CI should send emails to this list (preferrably when a 
test starts failing which wasn't failing before), because it seems like 
nobody is running the tests in the image anymore, using the (weak) 
excuse that the CI will do it anyway. But nobody checks the CI either.

Another option is to go back to our previous policy "run all the tests 
before you commit". But it didn't work, and that's one of the reasons why 
the CI was created.
