I've had a look at the changes and done a few tests, and have no
comments. However, I did see that the test 002_twophase_streaming.pl
failed once. I've run it at least 30 times after that but haven't seen
it fail again.
Unfortunately my ulimit was not set up to create dumps and so I dont
have a dump when the test case failed. I will continue testing and
reviewing the changes.
