A question about testsuite policy/etiquette?
Recently I found a g77 bug, produced a simple testcase and submitted it to
the g77 testsuite as 20000601-1.f
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-05/msg01005.html . The problem seems
restricted to mips-sgi-irix6.5 with -mabi=64. Now the testcase passes but
the original bug remains.
Should I:
* submit a patch so the test again fails,
* submit a new testcase (probably not)
* remove the testcase
* do nothing
Was I premature in submitting a test when the underlying problem was not
understood?
