[PATCH] make flapping smbcontrol test more informative

[Gary Lockyer]

Ouch this was added for the pre-fork process model work and it was
intended to catch gross failures in the start up.

So it could just be limited to just the prefork test environments,
currently only addc_no_ntlm.

My preference though would be to get it working for the standard model
as well, but I'm unsure how to do this. Any thoughts, suggestions.
