Reading [0] it's my impression that you're relying on a false
assumption: Let me state very clear that each instance of SlapdTestCase
or a derived class is supposed to be used one-shot only and start its
isolated slapd process and tear it down later. All current tests are and
all future tests will be written based on this assumption.

Nevertheless I agree that the class method should not change the class.

I wonder why you only tweaked t_ldapobject.py because the very same call
to SlapdTestCase.setUpClass() is also in t_cext.py.

Ciao, Michael.
