Does that test suite include a test for the bug you fixed? If not, running it before committing this particular patch was close to useless. By definition, a regression test is designed to trigger a specific bug so the developer(s) can make sure it is not reintroduced at some later point once it's been fixed. Standard procedure is for the developer to write a regression test *before* fixing the bug, and verifying that the test fails when run against the unpatched code and succeeds when run against the patched code.
