That is quite common problem with LTP testcases. Do you care to send a
patch or should I fix that?
I'll plan to send a patch. Also, it looks like the testing that LTP does of
add_key() is very sparse, so I'll try to extend it a bit.

Here as well, feel free to send a patch or at least point us to a
reproducer that could be turned into a testcase.
I'll plan to send a patch for that as well.
