Deri's fix for bug #68671 caused this test script to fail.
It shouldn't have failed. The problem is that this test script is excessively
sensitive to the content of PDF output produced by _gropdf_--down to the byte
position.
Make the test insensitive to such matters, and make it less of an end-to-end
test. Check only the grout produced by GNU _troff_.
Any tests of how _gropdf_ produces PDF output should probably live in a test
script specific to the output driver.
