For the record, I'm fine with putting the fix in the FSF tree and
declaring that there is a test case but it's proprietary code, in
this circumstance. However, developing non-encumbered test cases
is certainly a Good Thing, and IMO worth spending time on.
It sounds like you have a regression test harness internally; would
it be practical to clean that up and contribute it?
