For some tests, existing *.output files are compared to generated *.thisoutput files. If
equal the test succeeds, else it fails.

The reference files (e.g. jctest.output, fptest.output.cp) have no new line at the end
of the file, whereas the generated ones do, which leads to the tests failing.

This is most likely a platform specific bug

Confirmed

Apple's sed adds the newline, in tests/regression/Test.sh.
