#949 profiler test suite peculiar behavior
I downloaded from activestate's ftp site today the latest tcl, tk, tcllib cvs head snapshot tars. On a sparc solaris 9 system, using sun's c compiler, I built the pieces and installed them. All this is being done within Sun's standard xterm window, running under GNOME, displaying back to Exceed X server running on Windows XP sp2.
I then ran a make test for tcllib. Things went well until:

Notice that for some reason, profiler outputs each of its steps, instead of writing them on top of each other like the previous tests all did.
This is a make test performed "interactively" with output going to stdout/stderr.
I've seen this kind of thing happen with the test suite at other times. I understand that others may not be able to duplicate the problem. I am reporting it because there appears to be something weird going on in the test suite software itself, or perhaps in this particular test.

Something in just this test ... I am not sure about that. The test framework in sak uses Ctrl-M, aka CR, aka \r, aka 0x0D to move the cursor to the beginning of the current line without advancing a line, before printing the next line. To me it looks a bit like the terminal or other is gobbling this character, or transforming into linefeed (LF, \n).
Well, I am running now on a solaris box too, will see if I can see the same problem. Setup is similar, xterm, Exceed server on WinXP. No gnome tough.
