Sorry, but I don't have any, because I really don't even know
if this code is ever executed for C code. It is for
Free Pascal generated code, that is how I discovered that bug.
But I can't add tests with Free Pascal anyhow.

Sorry, but I never worked with the testsuite,
so I can't answer this question.
