Currently run_tests.sh generates several files of text test data. The
procedure it uses for this is somewhat torturous and has several problems:
* Since the test data is derived from a dts file, a cursory glance at the
test output suggests something is wrong with the processing of that dts.
This is misleading since in fact it's just being used as an arbirary
string.
* Since the base input has linefeeds removed, the head and sort commands
used later have no effect.
* Although an attempt is made to get rid of characters which the shell
will mangle, it's not thorough enough. Specifically it leaves in \ which
means that some string escapes found in the input data can get expanded
somewhere along the line in some shells.
This patch, therefore, replaces this generation of test data with a
pre-canned "Lorem ipsum" of approximately 2k. On my system, where /bin/sh
is dash, this fixes a test failure due to the aforementioned string
escapes being evaluated on one but not the other of the two comparison
paths (I haven't tracked down exactly where the expansion is happening).
