Well, a segfault is kind of a failure (argh, too many "not-nots").  And Martin
did fiddle with Alberta to make the segfault go away, at least for the grid
used in the test.  As I understand it, there are (and always will be) certain
grids for which the test would segfault.  This is inherent in the recursive
bisection algorithm.

I'm going to fix the test such that passing becomes the expected behaviour,
and of course I'll improve the message above as well.  This way we will notice
when someone fiddles with Albertas heuristic again in such a way that the grid
tested here does no longer work.

Just give me some time to set up a dune-2.0 environment, so I can actually
check that I don't introduce some stupid error.  You will get the patch today,
promise.

Jö.
