Testing against today's beta release 3.5.94 did not change anything, 
unfortunately.

I investigated that the above mentioned failure does stem from an EOL issue, 
since adding in 'examples/test' the diff flag '--strip-trailing-cr' solved it.  
I used this flag to narrow down the problem, but this diff flag is not portable 
if I am not mistaken; at least it is not POSIX.  So a solution is required to 
either avoid system-depending EOL character(s) or to swallow them up somehow 
(using perhaps a sed script, dos2unix or alike in a portable fashion).  The way 
how output files are generated appears to matter, but I could not go deeper 
into the package to see what is happening.    

After all, the remaining test failure is bistromathic #13 (log attached).  I 
did not look into that in detail and I am not sure if this is an EOL issue 
again or of general nature.

HTH.
