Description

Forked from https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/24586#issuecomment-443229311.

For the CTIGM: after I tracked this down, I noticed the ultimate issue is that lots of Express's dependencies are missing from the CITGM. Express's direct test suite doesn't re-test everything that each of it's dependencies are responsible for: it makes the assumption that by using a given dependency, it is getting the behavior that the dependency promises without needed to copy that dependency's entire test suite into it's own. This may be a missing on the CITGM process, though.

It seems we are lacking quite a bit of testing.
