   This turned out to be Linux-specific so I had to set up some tests there.  The   
   7/11 release should fix this.

   Yeah this was a freak accident.  Turns out when I was editing something else I   
   accidentally hit a key and it was passing a bad default value to a function   
   (-10 instead of -1).   
      
   I think now that I changed it back to -1 we should be okay in the 7/11 build   
   but let me know once you have a chance to try it!

   Yes its used as the ANSI in the Demos menu for File Viewer.

   This isn't in the 7/11 update but should be fixed in the next build.

   Fixed.

   Not for now.  It may be possible to send some status codes to like the client   
   know its being tested and when to resume but I would need to test that with   
   various clients.   
      
   Ideally it would spawn a thread for testing but there needs to be a thread   
   queue and a limit to it otherwise a bad actor could use it as a form of DDOS   
   attack.  This is something I want to do but its a chunk of work and probably a   
   low priority given how few people will actually use this feature.   
      
   I think short term is to experiment with status messages and long term is to   
   implement a testing thread/queue.
