Hi Richard,

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong on and off for some time
now but I'm afraid I don't get the idea behind the NATIVELSBSTRING
variable and how it affects generating the hashes. Could you maybe
point me in the right direction because so far I've been unable to
find a way to fix these tests.

Best regards,
Bartosz
