Not true, it reveals that I forgot to put it in the patch, that's all. As
I cannot run several of these tests because of memory constraints I link
the file to a copy in a rw area where I modify the list and just run one
of the subtests at a time. If I try to run the whole it always fails
after a couple of sub-tests with an error.

It seems to me that these scripts are quite memory consuming as they
accumulate memory consuption in relation to what is loaded along the
way. A major problem with my system.
