That would leave the most critical components of the AD DC untested,
which isn't acceptable either.

Software is hard, but my focus since before SambaXP has been almost
entirely on the ldb locking issue.

We all find flapping tests frustrating.  The easy answer is to throw
large parts of the codebase under the bus as untested, but this only
ensures bitrot.  The hard answer is what we have been doing, which is
actively fixing the bugs.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
