Excellent!  Thank you Alexander!  That will be a great help.  You said 
that some of these come from the LSB docs at that time.  I'll check 
tomorrow and see if I can find any more there.  Do you have any more 
test cases stashed away in your bookmarks that can be of use?  I am 
especially interested in the coreutils tests that had previously 
failed.  Looks like they were still broken in 6.9.
