Yuck - that's a complete pain. The short-term fix would be to alter the 
massive set of pipes to remove lines beginning with LINE followed by the 
extra CR/LF.

The long term fix is, of course, to move the majority of the testing 
framework over to CUnit. With the advent of liblwgeom, we can test 95%+ 
of the functions without having to deal with different outputs from 
PostgreSQL.


ATB,

Mark.
