[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] tests: add test for buggy deduplicator

This seems like a test that would belong in the kernel tree rather than in
DTrace?  It seems like a weird tst to have included in DTrace because if it
fails, we cannot do anything about it in DTrace anyway.

I'd rather leave out tests that exercise things that are not DTrace itself.
