Excellent, thanks @mpickering. Is there a similar bug in the code for running benchmarks? IIRC that code is very similar.

[mpickering]

Benchmarks look to be fine. I'll extend the test anyway.

Needs only a merge label now after two reviews.

@mpickering: would you like to set the merge label? it's a way of saying you don't want to add anything else to the PR (label needs-review only says it's ready enough to be reviewed).

[andreasabel]

LGTM.
