Thanks for pointing out the areas that can be tested in addition to what is existing. The list is very comprehensive. I will see if i can get somebody to work on this. Will put you in CC for review. Hope you do not mind that. > And then there's vmsplice(), which I haven't even looked at. Yes, please do look into this and give us more feedback like the splice above.

Hope you will also help in future review of the testcases.
