What is _REALLY_ odd is that it didn't make any tests fail in the test
dir using master, next, and pu.

The test suite has a very good coverage, but it surely is not complete.

Well, two lessons learned...
1) Don't do isolated tests and count on the bundled tests to catch the 
corner cases.
2) Write more tests.

Perhaps someone can explain what I did wrong when testing?

git checkout master
make -s clean && make -s all && make -s install && cd t && make

This should have worked. Although I prefer just:

  $ make -j4 && make test -j16

Good to know I was on the right track.  Thanks.
