[New-bugs-announce] [issue11963] Use real assert* for test_trigger_memory_error (test_parser)

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

I’ve always found strange that one test relied on visual (i.e. human) checking instead of using an assert* method.  I changed it and found that the test still passed (see attached patch).  Is there any reason to do it the old way?
