    Good point. Anyway, this test does not throw an exception and is ignored 
because of that. I guess this is a typical problem with using expected=, we can 
never know whether it is thrown by the line in the code where we expect. So 
should we rewrite all our test cases not to use that? And explicitly fail if 
the exception is not thrown?
