...and probably failed (hang) in autobuild due to a hanging torture test 
(LOCAL-MESSAGING-READ4) as pointed out by Volker in a private mail conversation.

I briefly looked into the test: it creates two processes with fork() and then 
initializes messaging contexts in the parent and the child. Looks like this 
somehow interferes with the global messaging context which may point at a bug in 
messaging. Calling messaging_reinit() on the global messaging context did not 
help. I'd have to take a closer look but this has to wait til after IO-Lab 
and SDC.

Attached patch paves over the issue, not sure we if we wanna go into that 
direction for now. Thoughts?

I started an autobuild on gitlab with the new patch:
https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/pipelines/29916243

Please don't push the patch as is, it's lacking my signed-off for a reason... :)
