Subject: Strange "make check" error
Never seen anything like that. I suppose it will be a fluke and
rerunning the test will "fix" it, but has anybody encountered anything
like that? Strange bugout in the middle of the image comparisons?

Not seen it myself. Possibly a race condition or somesuch?
Interesting that it was on output-distance, which is pretty much
guaranteed to show a difference.
Oh superb. Reproducible.
Well, could also be that my baseline is broken. So need to redo from
full scratch.
Are you using Patchy and have you been using Patchy for different
patches recently? I sometimes get odd assertions all the time when
running a number of different patches one after another, even though
patchy is supposed to use make clean (or whatever it does) after each
test has completed.
I can usually smell when something isn't right or looks odd and find
that the baseline or even the initial test-master / test-staging
branches that patchy uses are 'broken'; so I git branch -D both those
test-* branches, cat /dev/null >~/.lilypond-patchy-cache (which removes
any cruft that is probably overkill) and rm -rf /tmp/*lily* in case the
place that patchy puts the test branches to run the test are poisoned.
and then re-run ./test-patches.py and that usually helps.
