BTW: is there an easy way to do some general output filtering on
*all* tests for different platforms? It may not be helpful for the
above test, but for some differences (like stderr in case of several
types of core dumps on different operating systems, or the typical
linker warnings about strcat(3), strcpy(3) etc. on OpenBSD) it may
be less maintainance work to filter or modify the output on specific
platforms.
