According to my expr those match, so I think you've got an expr bug of
some kind; are you using a system expr or GNU expr?

Your version of dotest_line_by_line isn't handling blank lines correctly
(this is fixed in the current sources, but after CVS 1.11); change it as
follows:

@@ -432,6 +430,9 @@
     if $EXPR "`sed -n ${line}p ${TESTDIR}/dotest.tmp`" : \
        "`sed -n ${line}p ${TESTDIR}/dotest.exp`" >/dev/null; then
       :
+    elif test -z "`sed -n ${line}p ${TESTDIR}/dotest.tmp`" &&
+       test -z "`sed -n ${line}p ${TESTDIR}/dotest.exp`"; then
+      :
     else
       echo "Line $line:" >> ${LOGFILE}
       echo "**** expected: " >>${LOGFILE}

You may well find that line-by-line works even though all-at-once
doesn't, expr bugs are like that.
