The test1 patches probably apply (possibly with some manual intervention) up to about test6. At least one of them (the first gss patch) is a fairly critical bugfix. I'm just updating to test7 myself right now; I'll try to post new patches soon, but in the worst case it might not be till after we get back from testing at Connectathon (in two weeks). --Bruce Fields
