Comment 18 for bug 855030

I tested again using the devstack install to create two nodes (after verifying that the fix for bug 838581 is in session.py) and still see the problem, but less frequently. It is not quite the same because this is running from source rather than packages, and using 'nova boot' instead of euca-run-instances. I don't know how to get euca-run-instances to work when using keystone to manage users. 'nova boot' doesn't seem to allow multiple instances to be created in one call but I changed the min_count default in the source to 8 for this test.

This bug really needs to be reopened but I am not sure how to do that.
