I ran tests on 4 different systems. The summaries are below.  I don't
suggest fixing these before the release, since we have gone back and
forth with them and haven't found a way to fix them once and for
all. They are bugs in the tests, not the output, and tweaking them is
holding up development on the GLM procedure and lib/linreg and maybe
some other things too. Plus, Ben's output system should enable
breaking the tests into those for output, and those for formatting
output, rather than just diffing text (I hope that last part is right,
anyway).
