Except this is a regression which is different from a normal bug that has never worked. Anyways the best way to fix this is just to fix the bug. Someone exposed the regression back in 4.0 time frame, I reported the bug before getting approval for the patch. They were not willing to fix it so why punish the testcase which is obviously is a regression. I think we should be punishing the person who exposed/introduced the regression instead. -- Pinski
