revision https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/224340/webkit but I believe it would go back further.

the test became much more flaky after the revisions:

https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/224348/webkit
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/224347/webkit

there is no archive of r224347 so I'm unable to determine between the two.
