When I made the HUF-patch, I watched, that iso-currencies-to-c only generates 
	 fullname,
	 namespace,
         mnemonic, 
         exchange-code,
         smallest-fraction

The rest is simply ignored (unitname, partname, smallest-fraction).

Charles, just a shot in the dark: could this be the cause of Bug 
408444 – "Smallest fraction" disregarded?

BTW, where can I find some explanation of smallest_fraction vs. parts_per_unit 
vs. SCU?
