Yes... I'll explicitly turn \r\n into \n (at the end of the string) so the
test can still use the normal print/stdout-checking routines (mostly because
I want to avoid doing the error reporting myself) but it would still barf if
the read strings contain other trailing garbage or extra whitespace and
such.

I'll check in a new version in a few minutes.. Let me know if it still has
problems.
