That's the expected behavior, thus the test should never fail!
I can't understand why it is failing.

In more detail, (as you might have already looked into it,)
gkhuge.test compares the stderr (= redirected to ygkhugeng.err,
which is similar to gk2.txt above) and the distributed gkhugeng.err.
If the test really fails with
     ygkhugeng.err differ: char 1, line 1
then the possibilities are:

* the shell could not redirect stderr to a file ygkhugeng.err
* there is one or more preceding (invisible?) characters inside it
* (I can't think of others)
