Sorry for this taking so long - but I now have applied PATCH 2/2, I
didnt bother applying the fixtures one due to multiple issues (some
preexisting):

* added hunk in the patch clearly was confused about 9.0 vs 8.0
* random whitespace added to some lines
* the entire current fixture file is kinda outdated wrt the current data
model and needs much bigger rejiggering...

thanks for the patch!

Stefan
