Hi Michael,

You are not guilty :)

Tests reliant on inotify will have issues for our Linux based builds due to
kernel bugs/limitations in the overlayfs file system used by Docker. These
were resolved in a later kernel version, which is why it's flaky, as our
Debian based hosts have a newer kernel (where the issue is fixed) while the
Ubuntu LTS based hosts have a kernel which is impacted by this issue.

I expect these tests to pass reliably once Ubuntu releases 18.04 and we
upgrade the Ubuntu physical hosts to that.

Cheers,
Ben
