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).
