My opinion is that if a test finds a bug, it is a good test.  A really
great test causes the machine to reboot, catch on fire, and install
Windows XP from a Russian warez mirror.

Here is some policy from gcc:

I think this would be a good policy for gdb.  What do you think?

I will re-run my test bed on the new patch shortly.
