Bill,

The PluginPathTest bug that is fixed by this patch only occurs on non-windows 
systems with shared libraries. The robot builds do not cover this combination. 
Perhaps I should have been more diligent about testing both libraries types 
locally, or following up on the continuous builds better. Me culpa. But I think 
overall its a small issue of just the test needing to be tweaked. There are a 
certain amount of follow-up patches that will always be needed after testing on 
the dashboard. Unless we have a branch separate from the master to perform 
testing on the dashboard before topic are merged into master, there will always 
be some hiccups.

What is important is that when issues due pop up on the dashboard they are 
rapidly addressed.

Also, a topic in gerrit should be based on a good master. For most patches 
coming through gerrit we should still be able to enforce that the robot builds 
are clean even if the currently nightly has an issue. With git you can choose 
the spot in master where you want to base your topic. 

So perhaps as gerrit reviewers if there are "new" failures on a gerrit build 
that are showing up on the latest nightly, perhaps we should down rate the 
patch and request that it's rebased onto a clean master.
