Yes, thats doable by doing an update at the start of the test, but it
will slow things down with our current pb implementation...


There is some sort of nasty interaction with the test suite though,
which makes this currently unmergable - pages of spew get output.

I've done it in my branch:
[==                                  ] ...DirServer)   52/1261 0:02:23
...
[==                                  ] SKIP            54/1261 0:42:08
