Could you split it in two files? one .exp just for 669 with the kfail,
and one .exp for the rest. Even if you have to duplicate one proc or
two.  I thing it'll make things easier in the long run. So the
'generic' testfile can evolve freely.

I think we can refine the test as we go, we are doing this all the
