If we are testing for the re-emergence of a particular bug then in most
cases a script can be devised to do that in one go without going the extra
mile and stress testing. Clearly bugs like 'the ISAPI module falls over
every couple of days' don't fall into the category until someone hones in on
why the problem occurs, but whoever eventually fixes the problem is likely
to be able to provide a short test script.
I had been thinking more along the lines of things like the min() and max() bug that showed up in the 4.0.0 release - basically the types of things that might not appear as bugs unless you use suitable large/complex data.
