Reset state of: self.db.security.set_props_only_default(False) at end of testGetPermission. I thought each test_X module had a fresh environment an load of all modules. I guess that is not the case as not resetting the props_only default to false seemed to bleed into the testAuthFilter in text_xmlrpc.py. However the funny part is it only caused problem in travis ci. Not in my manual running of the full test suite on two platforms. However I am pulling errors because the framework is not skipping the postgres tests for text_xmlrpc. Maybe that failure is hiding something?? If I run just the test_xmlrpc module I would not expect an issue since the security test suite won't be invoked. I am using different versions of the test harness and python so maybe.....
