[lmi] Problem of the week: testing a testing tool

[Greg Chicares]

make unit_tests build_type=mpatrol unit_test_targets=input_test
[add '.exe' at the end for msw]

Running input_test:

0. What's obviously wrong here on the face of it?

1. Which revisions introduced defects observable above?

2. How could those defects have been detected automatically?

3. How could those defects have been prevented?

4. How should those defects be removed?
