Actually, w.r.t "dump", I'd expect that if the resulting executable
starts up correctly and survives a few GC cycles, that's positive proof
that the dump works right. It's theoretically possible for bugs to
manifest themselves later, but it seems difficult to come up with
realistic scenarios.

Please send the patch along,
Stefan
