Oh I see, I thought FakePike would be using Shuffler...
No, indeed.
I fixed the FakePipe issue. It passes all tests, AFAICS.
With regard to the Shuffler: the Pike 8.0 shuffler is very fragile and could (at any time) result in datacorruption and/or segmentation faults. Even though, considering the incremental discovery of all the errors in the Shuffler feels a bit like whack-a-mole, I can reason that most likely the grave memory corruption bugs are gone, considering that all callback connections between Shuffle and sources have now been covered and rewritten.
