I'm a little confused with this part, doesn't this force the test to
run on the host?

I'm not sure we should commit commented-out code.  Why not have the
test assert { [lindex $result 3] == 1 } if that's what's happening
now, with the comment reworded to indicate that it might need changing
to zero when PR23368 is fixed.  That way, when PR23368 *is* fixed,
whoever's fixing it gets a failing test, they investigate, find the
comment, and update it as part of their series.

Everything else looks good.

Cheers,
Gary
