Actually, I too noticed that you've dropped few crasher tests. I think we need to keep them, to make sure that future development will not introduce the same vulnerabilities. That's a common practice with unit-testing.

The term for this is "regression testing" -- when you fix a bug, you keep a test for that bug forever, to ensure that you never have a regression that re-introduces the bug.
