Recently I reported a bug which caused perl to segv.

  http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2002-10/msg00346.html

I thought the solution might be more complex than it turned out to be,
and so I included a patch to the test suite to add a TODO test using
fresh_perl_is().

Rafael was quite rightly concerned about this.  When the bug is fixed we
don't want unneeded fresh_perl_is() tests lying around.  What is the
correct solution here?  I was planning to submit another patch when the
fix was done.  I suppose the passing TODO test would be a reminder to do
something.

Is this the best way to handle this, or have I missed something?

In this case, Rafael fixed the bug and added passing tests, so there was
no problem, but in general what is the solution?

Now I've asked the same question three times I'll wait for enlightenment :-)
