if the test suite doesn't crash (i only test that) i'll upload ... it 
has to do with decoupling some in the engine: tex uses lots of shifting, 
cheating on dimensions and displacements that relate to (older) fonts 
and for the purpose of tracing i changed some ... so we're seeing a side 
effect of that

for a while we already have this:

\tracingmath2\tracingonline2

just to give an idea what enters tex's math machinery

5:7: > \inlinemath=
5:7: \displaystyle
5:7: \mathord
5:7: .\nucleus
5:7: ..\mathchar (fam="0,char="65)
5:7: .\superscript
5:7: ..\mathlist
5:7: ...\mathord
5:7: ....\nucleus
5:7: .....\mathchar (fam="0,char="61)
5:7: ...\mathbin
5:7: ....\nucleus
5:7: .....\mathchar (fam="0,char="2B)
5:7: ...\mathord
5:7: ....\nucleus
5:7: .....\mathchar (fam="0,char="62)

i'll upload a fixed version

fwiw: \frac and friends are currently being redone; for that we now have 
a frac class (as well as rad), so

   \mathfrac{...}
   \mathrad{...}

in addition to \mathord etc other new things are

   \beginmathgroup ... \endmathgroup

that permits better local settings without messing up the spacing due to 
classes and we have dozens more spacing class variables ... all waiting 
to be used (some features are already there for more than a year but now 
get used in low level code, which is why we can expect some instabilities)
