THAT was the clue I needed.  When you type "certificates" into the
search box, you are presented the same snap-in, but it will only do 
"Certificates / Local Computer" (after an UAC confirmation).

So, cmd -> certmgr -> "current user \ personal certificates \ certificates"
will show what I imported from .p12

(And it does *not* show any of the test certificates, so I assume that
cleanup() worked correctly.  I might try a test run that skips cleanup()
("core dumped"), just to see what happens, but as far as I understand
the code, the *next* run will run the cleanup, so this is not of major
importance)

thanks,
