Hi Paolo,

I now just found out that bios-tables-test actually was segfaulting, but even with V=1
there was no indication or hint about it from the tests, maybe there should be?

Segfault seems to be stemming from a missing check for NULL in the free function for the test data,
with that change things seem to finally work for bios-tables-test.

Now to the next failing test.. (qos-test buzzes with no output, we'll see..)

Thanks,

Claudio
