I think it is general consensus that adding a regression test is
always the right thing to do.

In the past for tests that were XFAIL we removed them until the
fix was put into place (mainly becuase glibc lacks a decent
test infrastructure).

I don't dictate what you work on though. A fix is a fix, and it
should go in. We'd also like a regression test, but you are free
to say no.

Cheers,
Carlos.
