Yes, I should have made this clear.  We found that the Netlogon pipe
doesn't like async.  You could use multiple Netlogon pipes, and the
SamLogonEx call (other calls have nasty shared state in the form of the
authenticators).

I'm pretty sure our tests show this worked, but it should be very easy
to check.  Multiple pipes do make this part easy, in any case.
