 Yes, the check file should be regenerated.  Initially when writing the
 tests I was manually generating the check files but this takes too much
 time and is hard to maintain so now current behaviour is captured -
 wrong or right.  So, yes, if the behaviour changes when a bug is fixed
 then the check needs to be regenerated as long as the impacts on other
 tests (if any) are considered.
