Geez, I must have missed something along the way - normally GDB gets
its size info from debug bits in the executable, which means that it
should be impossible for these tests to fail? But assuming that
something changed to make it more likely, the tests themselves look
satisfactory as the way to discover the discrepancy.

Yeah, while a few characters of the file may actually date back
to 1988 by a continuous series of cut-n-pastes, it's a bit misleading
to use that in a newly-created file!
