I just pushed a commit which reenables two tests for:

libguestfs protocol loses synchronization if you 'upload' before mounting disks

http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=dc8e4b057ecd3984d7c27c8ece54048b6a06d662

This is a really long-standing bug which we thought we'd fixed, but
then turned up again.  It currently is *not* failing on my machine.  I
added some clearer debug messages to the code paths involved.

It seems to be highly timing related and I doubt that it is fully
squashed, so it is quite probably that these tests will fail for
somebody somewhere.  If you can get it to fail with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
then please post the full log into the bug report.

Rich.
