windows failure in testsuite

[Thomas Miedema]

Hi Simon,

this doesn't look like a problem with the testsuite driver. The testsuite
driver indeed calls 'diff', but has been doing so for years. Nothing
changed there. I just ran the testsuite on Windows with msys2 to double
check, and didn't get any framework errors either.

Something changed in your Windows setup maybe?

Cheers,
Thomas
