speaking of the toilet, I heard that every so often they basically vented the contents in to space. Surely each use of the toilet would capture a small volume of "atmosphere" so... what was the theoretical max number of toilet uses before that loss became an issue? Did they ever find out the source of the burning smell?

Not if you fart like I do.
I developed the habit as a kid in preparation for space travel
Comes on handy for emergency propulsion means.

Unfortunately that form of propulsion won't work inside the suit. You will need a zip flap. And to achieve maximum specific impulse I recommend a bean heavy diet.
I was thinking of a one-way valve combined with a whistle (in case energized in the airlock, to alert crew of a negligent discharge).
A source of ignition and an oxygen line may improve performance.
The diet doesn't seem to affect my output that much, to the dismay of my family.
