What exactly invalid argument is tested?

Is it just insufficient number of arguments? Then why not just call it without arguments? Or call it with 8 valid arguments (it requires 9 arguments)?

I guess that before Victor's patch was committed, these specially crafted arguments would cause a crash, and with the patch, nothing bad would happen. (Victor, please correct me if I am wrong.)
Maybe changing the test's name would make it clearer? Or do you have something else in mind?
