I was able to reproduce the issue. And it's fun failure mode.

How did you get the test case inside the VM? Copy-paste source using 'cat'
or something similar inside the VM?

It screwed up CHECK_HUGE_FMT and CHECK_SWAP_FMT for me. Double back slash
was converted to single. As result check_huge() and check_swap() gave the
false-negative result all the time.

Could you check that the source of the test-case is not mangled and
re-test if it is.
