On two attempts to send a patch modifying the service tests I got a failing test in the "w7u" VM while the other VMs were succeeding [1][2][3].
This test first gets the number of active and inactive services. Then enumerates all services and decrements the corresponding counter. At the end both counter should be zero.
Yes, there's clearly a race in the tests. What's more, this failure happens before your new code and is clearly not related to it.
Of course it would be nice to fix the race, but that doesn't seem possible the way the existing tests are written.
