You might need to unpull more like 15, we've been quite busy today.
Honestly though, I wouldn't bother - its probably not worth the
effort. Catch is a nice box to check, and it can expose flaws in the
API, and find real bugs, but its clearly a 0.1 project so far.

I think that of those 4 you gave, 2 will be fixed sometime shortly,
and are both useful finds.

Thanks
