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.
