Mon Dec 3 14:12:36 UTC 2012

Hi Silvio,

  Absolutely agree with Boud here, that's some very brilliantly done 
testification you got going on there! :D

  Hope you don't mind i CC'd you on all the bugs i made out of your feedback, 
there ;) Specifically i'd love to get some feedback on that load loop issue, 
as i seem unable to reproduce it here...
