Could you drop in a pointer to this test suite for us, we might well be
interested in using that.

Could you confirm that this should not affect operations but is mostly
fixing up holes that might be exploitable.

Otherwise I assume what this does is bring what is in Precise up to the
same level as mainline, allowing us to guarentee that more modern
consumers of this interface will work consistantly on all releases back
to Precice.

Thanks!
