Amir said this, but also referring to the difference between J5 and J4.6. Th e42
points in my test did reveal this difference though. I am also very interested
to see how well my test relates to the SSDF list regarding J6. If it doesn't, it
will be the first time it fails. Then we will have to figure out why it failed
in this particular case and not in the others. If it fails.
