Of course.  But the idea of the initiation test is to ensure security,
which implies running tests out of the ordinary.  It's easy of course
to make this an optional test and add a note about it in the man page.
It sounds like a topic for this afternoon's phone meeting.

Absolutely.  Will you talk to them, or shall I?  I don't own their HSM,
so it might be a bit weird if I'd do it.  Just pass on the code of
hsmbully to them, I'd propose.

Uck -- that's bad.  Understood, let Sun worry about it.
