Hi Carl,

Thanks for looking at this.

I'd be interested to know what the sporadic test failures look like, do
you have a error message you could share?

Currently, there is a comment that sits just above the lines you've
added which says why roles.acl_statistics and 3 other tests are
disabled, so it would be good to confirm if the reason is the same, or a
new comment is needed.

Thanks,

Chris
