intentional, because players will require the corresponding game data

You need to make sure you use faststring's version of size_t. As a

faststring::size_t pos1=0, pos2, len=str.size();
It's likely there will be other cases of this though.

I'm not sure I follow. Debhelper runs the testsuite during the build
