Apparently there is also a problem with print, 
as indicated by Decoux. Where \0 is interpreted differently
on linux, compared to sparc, freebsd.

The other problem is that Test::Unit recently has
begun showing the test-name via the $0 variable.
Which is bad. May I propose to introduce a instance
variable '@test_name' for that, instead of touching
the $0 global variable.

Comments about these 2 issues?
