There seems to be a bug in our test case that makes it pass in the 
regression machines, but fails elsewhere (looks like we are looking for 
an incorrect/newer/older symbol on the regression machines).

This bug is filed to track and fix the problem in the test case: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508025

Further, the mentioned patch above is now ported to the 3.10 branch as 
well ( https://review.gluster.org/18602 ), and should address the 
specific issue in a future release (3.10.8 possibly).
