John, could you and Muhammad have a chat and perhaps settle on a series
series that gets acks from both of you?

I had Muhammad's in my queue and didn't realize we had two overlapping
series' bouncing around until now.

Aha OK. Muhummad, after looking through this, I see that our
test_FISTTP.c fix is identical, and that's about it. My series goes
a bit deeper IMHO and completely fixes all the errors; the tradeoff
is that it is more intrusive. Which I think is appropriate.

Would you be OK with my posting v3 that uses your patch for
test_FISTTP.c [1], and the rest of my patches for the rest?
