Description
I think the stdout/stderr of the test programs are stripped before comparison so changes that effect leading/trailing white space don't cause tests to fail.

Research direction
Start by tracing the test runner's stdout/stderr comparison for the test programs and reproduce the behavior with leading or trailing whitespace changes. Done means those whitespace differences are preserved during comparison and cause the corresponding tests to fail.
