Before which patch?

Earlier this week I saw the wait_for_fds assertion (mentioned at
the thread above) on a travis-ci job again, and I was suspecting
it was the same vhost_set_mem_table() + TCG error seen at the
thread above.

Unfortunately travis-ci overwrote the previous logs when I
restarted the job, and now I can't confirm if it was really the
same vhost_set_mem_table() error. I guess we'll have to simply
wait and see if it fails again.
