Description

The number of failed RemoteManager unit tests seems to vary widely and randomly, sometimes many fail; at other times, much less. Examining some of the failures (in the unit test report files), they all seem to be at points where the output (such as a "Welcome" line) from the remote manager is compared to the expected one by the test case.

At first thought that it might be an issue with the default restricted Vista user not being able to open certain port numbers, but it the same occurs when "build.bat clean run-unit-tests" is run from a command prompt with admin privileges.

Easy to reproduce, ran multiple times and failures were always > 0.
