Hi Alexandre,

is it OK that have the above in a patch anyway, along with some extra
debugging output? I will try and find a key we can use, but one problem
could be that the failures are related to security (that's why I want to
have the extra output as well).
If it is security it will probably be harder to find a key which we can
use.

Cheers,

Paul.
