* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + Crash testing:
      + 41(+25) import failure, 5(+1) export failures
      + increased dramatically - mst did some work to take out
        another patch - and put in some more asserts.
           + is it an overly assertive assert ?
      + most are calc crashers.
      + some in the zip area - assuming they are threading related.
    + Google / ossfuzz:
      + 7 failures, none critical.
      + special env. var to make our fuzzers live needed
      + special pre-test now, but left out the env.var
          + pre-check was blocking us.
      + all fixed now and re-start
    + waiting for coverity
      + until new version that supports c++17(?)
