Not recently, I normally run make tests - however my point was that
when you post a bug report it would be much more productive if you
wrote something like 'wrong bits masked resulting in bleh not being
enabled' instead of just 'logic is wrong'. With the latter one can
read you patch and actually see what you're trying to fix which is not
always obvious the other way 'round.
