: Sure, if you just run the test script:
:
: python test_SubsMat.py
:
: the test itself runs fine. But if you add on the comparison of the
: generated output to the old output, then that's where you'll get the

Oh, I thought that Mark meant:

python run_tests.py test_SubsMat.py

(As you show later, which compares with the old output).

That explains stuff.
