[Bug testsuite/11727] New: the systemtap.server/server.exp testcase reports invalid failures

[dsmith at redhat dot com]

The systemtap.server/server.exp testcase runs the same test scripts that the
systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp testcase uses, but in server mode.  However, the
list of KFAILS isn't consistent between systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp and
systemtap.server/server.exp, which causes systemtap.server/server.ex to report
invalid failures.  For example, here's the output of
systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp and systemtap.server/server.exp when run on the
same machine (RHEL5 ppc):

Running /root/src/testsuite/systemtap.pass1-4/buildok.exp ...
FAIL: buildok/process_test.stp

Running /root/src/testsuite/systemtap.server/server.exp ...
FAIL: buildok/memory-mmap.stp with server
FAIL: buildok/nfs-fop.check_flags.stp with server
FAIL: buildok/process_test.stp with server
KPASS: buildok/rpc-all-probes.stp with server (PRMS 4413)
FAIL: buildok/scheduler-migrate.stp with server
FAIL: buildok/signal-handle.stp with server
FAIL: buildok/thirtythree.stp with server
FAIL: buildok/tty-resize.stp with server

Assuming the server is working correctly, the list of failures between the two
tests should be the same.  The list of KFAILs needs to be synchonized between
the 2 testcases.  Perhaps a comment should be added to both testcases as a
reminder to update the lists in both places.
