It's more than that, we really did have a few patches with
'programming error' messages from other developers, so while there is
any doubt I end up having to redo the tests anyway, which kind of
makes the reg test on Grenouille pointless at the moment. As I won't
know if this is a real problem or not.

I'd suggest turning it off for now and I'll continue to test patches manually.
