Ah ok. I always thought that the regression tests have to be written so
they were simple reproducers of a single specific issue. We are using
this regression test in IcedTea as a check if some OpenGL-specific
functions are properly listed in
jdk/make/sun/xawt/mapfile-vers (there were bug in older IcedTea versions).
