    Peter Holm (CC'd) has a really cool set of torture tests.
    he has also seen all sorts of failures others have not (yet) triggered. :-)

    I'm 'busy" for the next couple of weeks so you may want to communicate directly
    with him and see if you and he together can figure out some of the things he's
    been seeing :-)

    his tests are at:
