* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + 8(-6) import failure, 3(-1) export failures
    + 11 coverity issues
    + 28 ossfuzz issues
      - got my patch upstream to fix failing parallel post build fuzzers check
      - but new build timeout has appeared before reaching that point
      - so new patch to cache build depends to perhaps speed that up a little
      - but oss-fuzz pre-integrate build OOM during that build
