Nofib Fails stderr test on linux

Hi,

I'm using ghc-4.08.1 on linux (Debian 2.2) and running some nofib
tests.  some of the tests (e.g. mkhprog) fail when comparing the
expected / actual stderr.

The two files differ by an extra carriage return on the actual
stderr's saved file.

I discovered that this was caused by the line 233/4 in runstdtest.prl:

egrep -v '^ld\.so:.*has older revision than expected' < $TmpPrefix/runtest$$.2 > $TmpPrefix/runtest$$.2b
mv -f $TmpPrefix/runtest$$.2b $TmpPrefix/runtest$$.2


Although the original stderr file had no carriage return at the end,
egrep will add one to its output file.


regards
Kevin
