IIRC it was not a unit test, but a modified SSSD build with
smaller memory caches. Then getent was called in a loop for several
hours (for diffrent users, so that the cache had to reuse
the space to store new entries) until it crashed. But
Lukas will know better. In general I would welcome stress
tests in our upstream test suite.
