It is! I bet it's something to do with size of the structures and the
hairy duck tape (or is it duct, I've watched whole youtube videos on this and
still can't remember) holding those tests together.

Anyway, I've taken patches 1-6 as of
b965b9de25d2270c4ba65b3dc31fd9649a8c922f as they're good cleanup
anyway. I think I went and ensured everything looks correct... I
possibly need to context switch less :)
