I had a quick read of the patches and they looked fine to= me. I learned the trick to run with `--run=3D0` just to figure out the numbers in a recent Outreachy project, I think it was Slavica who taught me. But yes, without patch 3, the output looks awfully verbose and you have to scroll back an insane amount of lines for long test scripts. Giddy, Dscho
