Thanks, Bruno.  This was a regex goof on my part.  OpenBSD "od" pads the
columns of output more generously, which caught me out.

(Also, I normally include "expected output" in comments where that would
be helpful, as here--but hadn't in this case.)

This should fix it, permitting the test to succeed.  Folks can expect it
in my next push.
