Subject: new tests are not reproducible, e.g. tmac/tests/an_MR-works.sh
An example is "an_MR-works.sh".
After adding
.ds MF I
to the INPUT in a line before '.TH ...'
I get the expected result.
Tests should be independent of the surroundings and should provide the
data, on which the results are based.
Tests are not to test the value of some used variable(!),
but the code!
Tests also need to be tested!
