Hi guys and Leon,

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/68078/ broke the check-merged job with really tough exception:

I have no clue what causes it.. we need to investigate in the tests code.

you can see it in http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_check-merged-el7-x86_64/772/consoleFull

and this for a job run just before it got in, which worked well - http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_check-merged-el7-x86_64/688/console

I suggest to revert this patch (and backport the revert to ovirt-4.1 branch as well) until figuring what causes it
