It broke the test because the test hand feeds appends and syncs with when they should throw exceptions. In the test we manufactured the case where an append fails and we then asserted the following sync would fail.

Problem was that we expected the failure to be a dropped snapshot failure because fail of sync is a catastrophic event... but our hand feeding actually reproduced the case where a sync goes into the damaged file... before it had rolled... which is no longer a catastrophic event... we just catch and move on.

The attached patch just removes check for dropped snapshot and that abort was called.
