I'm just fixing the debian packaging; usually it would be separate from
the underlying software, but in this case it's versioned together. Sorry
for the noise!

Hrm. I replaced the old C test vector generating program with a shell
script using 'bc'. I wonder if there's some subtle problem with how that
script is generating output? Can you send along the first bit of that
file?

I just noticed the first line is '#!/bin/sh'. Which shell does that run
in your environment? On debian, it uses 'dash'. I just checked and
'dash' and 'bash' both generate the same output for me; perhaps you've
got some other shell being used?
