Sorry - you are right - the test is basically flawed. At this point I am tempted to say that the simplest thing would be to just remove it. It is not really adding anything to the testsuite. If you want to look into crafting a more useful replacement please do, but for now I would suggest that we simply delete it. Cheers Nick
