The commented out test that you're referring to, is an existing test (not that I added or commented). I was going to remove but interestingly its testing a part of code where (prima-facie) it should fail, but it passes (probably why it was disabled in the first place)
!
So technically I hope this regression patch I submitted could go through since this feedback isn't towards that patch, but in my part I am quite intrigued about this test (and how it passes) and probably I'd get back on this thread about this particular commented out test in question, as time permits.
As a coincidental turn of events, I have had to travel half way across the world and am without my personal laptop (without a linux distro etc.) and just recovering from a jet-lag now.
I'll try to install a VM on a make-shift laptop and get something going to respond as soon as is possible.
