    The normalization test cases are not intended to find random logic bugs in
    implementations; they are designed to find bugs that would make a random
    implementation non-conformant. They don't test for a NULL input param
    either, for example. But specifically they do not take every single "C" form
    to make sure they deocompse and every single "D" form to make sure they
    compose....

    The D/KD in this case is:

        U+0041 U+0328 U+004c U+030c

    (tested with the .NET 2.0 implementation!)

    What was the bug you fixed? It might be easier to figure out a good way to
    add test cases by knowing what the implementation was doing....
