  You have to confirm that, without the fix, the test case actually
*fails*

  That's why it just frequently isn't interesting to me to read a 10MB
log file of some situation that I can't repeat trivially. 
  The *hard* work is turning that into a repeatable situation. 
  Sometimes that calls for introducing an impairment into another part
of the code.  It's also why I dislike threads --- they introduce an
element of non-determinism which makes repeating things hard.
  (It's also why kernel code is so hard -- it's always threaded, even in
non-thread-aware kernels running on UP. there is always an interrupt thread)
