*sigh* that could be because HUnit is calling print ( = putStrLn .
show) on the String rather than putStrLn; unfortunately unless it
decides to have a special case for Strings you probably won't be able
to get around this.

One option, though, is rather than returning a String, return a
newtype wrapped around a String such that it's show instance is the
String it contains...
