I agree. but currenly the quicktest only fails on the raw.write tests,
under 32-bit only.

I've removed this test (actually 3 tests) on my local repo, currently
rebuilding on i386.

If everything goes well, I'll upload this. Let's see if the flappy
test is still here (it was on amd64 reproducible buildd).

I'm sorry that my uploads have stopped samba 4.4 to go to testing.
Will fix this soon.
