Do not send HTML email, people will usually ignore it...

But yes, the test is testing for a bug that caused a kernel crash, so your
kernel has that bug.  That's the whole point of the test; see the comment at the
top of the file.

In general if anything userspace does crashes the kernel, it's a kernel bug.
