My intention is just to make sure that no bug fixes (that are
clearly bug fixes) have been missed.
Well I know that when I rewrote the EXAMINE command it fixed at least
one bug, but it was a major rewrite and affected a lot of files. I
can't guarantee that it didn't introduce any new bugs.

Maybe it is an idea to bring out factory builds in the future which are NOT intend as a preliminary release, but just for testing by the community. I guess there are people around here who are able to conduct these tests and know the difference between such a build and a release. This way the community can help the project team and save them some valuable time. The benefit for the community is a quicker progress of PSPP and better tested releases.
Have fun
