I was going to ask much the same:  bugs that have been fixed have a
delightful way of reappearing a release or two (or ...) later, perhaps
because they traversed unusually delicate code paths to begin with.

Rather than delete a leak test, perhaps we could simply move it into a
new old-leaking-tests subdirectory?  Likewise for crash tests.  When
the bug reappears, it's helfpul to have the focussed (whittled-down)
old test that provoked it handy.
