We also have a repo which is stored in Novell Forge, which I run every now and then but mostly when I'm gearing up to do a release. It was originally put in Novell Forge because it was SVN and maintaining it in GNOME CVS would cause major pain for people who were interested only in the code. A lot of those test files were making sure we extracted the right info, got all the metadata, etc. They weren't really there to test "broken" files so much. At some point I'll look into moving that stuff over into our current SVN. A big problem I had when I was fixing and dealing with a lot of the MS Word crashers and misbehaving documents is that they contained private information and I couldn't add them to a regression suite. Since the files were badly formed for whatever reason (or the parsers were broken), we couldn't recreate the situation in another file.
