I think on the whole I'd rather we not check in a test that fails.

I know we already have tests like that, but what I've noticed is that
these tests only ever seem to be fixed as a side effect of fixing
something else.  Otherwise the failures are just universally ignored.

I suppose the best thing to do is to file a bug about this problem.
Then you can attach this patch to the bug.

What do you think?

Tom
