Well, tex(..., false) returns a string which contains an embedded
line break (by accident, I would guess). The expected output in
these 2 cases are strings which contain embedded line breaks.
My first guess is that the output comparison fails for some reason.

When I try rtest16 on Windows XP, it reports no unexpected errors.
