You're right! All test cases are passed in 6.17:

# TOTAL: 1450
# PASS:  1121
# SKIP:  329
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

So we should hold on this upgrading.

I didn't use core-image-ptest-strace in previous testing, but test it manually
with core-image-sato, so I got the failures on 6.17.
