That is true.

A test has to do special tricks to turn a segfault into a failure rather
than a disappearance, which is needed to be able to label the test as a
known failure. python/samba/tests/segfault.py does those tricks, while I
know of nothing on the ldb side that does. It would be easy to copy
across, but then I also don't know if the ldb tests have a mechanism for
known failures.

There are other ldb tests in main samba tests -- for example the ones
called samba4.ldb.simple.* that run testprogs/blackbox/test_ldb_simple.sh.
Perhaps they are left there so they can be listed as knownfails.

I think it would be reasonable in this case to omit the test altogether.
We may introduce practically unnoticeable segfaults into pyldb in the
future, but it would be very good luck to reintroduce exactly the one we
test for.

So I think ldb should be happy. It doesn't need to test, but a friendly
external project --samba-- is testing on its behalf anyway.

> Otherwise nice catch.

thanks!

Any team members want to review?
