I disabled tests in ripgrep a few hours ago for the same reason. This is
not great, but I couldn't find another solution. In particular,
replacing rust-bstr-0.2 with a special rust-bstr-0.2.12 did not work
because regular rust-bstr-0.2 is still used as a transitive dependency.

Do you think of a better way to solve this?
