No.  I'm just amused by the irony.  I'm trying to push fixes for
flapping tests that people have (rightly) complained about and I can't
get the fixes in due to other flapping tests.

However, I'm also getting increasingly annoyed that nothing can make it
through autobuild because of consistent failures in a small group of
tests.  This isn't just an occasional failure...  :-(

We really need to consider moving stuff that currently fails after > 200
minutes to the beginning of the sequence so it will fail quickly and we
can retry faster.  That's the theory behind building a good Rube
Goldberg machine and retrying until it runs to completion...  ;-)

I have no idea if the tests should be marked as flapping or if anyone
is working on fixing anything (winbind or the tests).  I don't think it
needs a revert in possibly unrelated code.

I'll stop sending grumpy emails and retry until it finally makes it
in.

Sorry...

peace & happiness,
