Reading the patch, it modifies tests/tout_str.c, but doesn't add any new 
tests.  The modification will probably identify more potential errors 
but doesn't change the number of tests.

It's curious that the developers put the patch prominently on the 
'Latest release' page, but don't release a new tarball.
