Description ncopa 2025-11-19 21:34:10 UTC 
We (Alpine Linux) are experiencing that the testsuite started to fail in our gitlab CI since 0.17.0. It fails on all architectures:

test: test_trace_event_fd__loop
failure: test_trace_event_fd__loop [
tctx->before_handler
../../tests/test_tevent_trace.c:436: error: Failure!
]

...

test: test_trace_event_fd__free_in_handler
failure: test_trace_event_fd__free_in_handler [
tctx->before_handler
../../tests/test_tevent_trace.c:529: error: Failure!
]

I was able to reproduce it on my workstation by having data waiting on stdin, which I believe happens in the gitlab CI(?):

echo | make check

I believe this was introduced with https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/-/commit/d23142643bf7f1d13b1f2996a68b131675eeac16

I am not sure if the test should be fixed or the code?
