Ok, i will send a new version with the fixes for the earlier tests in extra 
commits.  Your 5.1 includes a +"grep "^Merge tag 
${apos}signed-untrusted-ssh-tag${apos}" actual &&" fix for a preexisting 
test in the first patch which now claims to only remove the stderr redirects 
though.  Also another grep for the merged tag for an earlier test got lost 
somewhere. I'll send a 5.2

Thanks
