I've had that thought about a few things lately, but the tests that are
part of make check don't currently have any trappings for doing negative
tests, which makes it easy to do nothing about it :-)

Should somebody (I don't have time right now, but if someone else does
....) be adding such a capability to the libvirt-internal tests, or is
that better just delegated to tests in libvirt-tck?
