I did the same on my other computer and there it has the same problem as before. I use windows 7 on both systems one with 64 bit OS and one with 32 bit OS. The 64 bit version does well, the 32 bit windows 7 system has the problem. May be my preferences?

Displays: The only test passed! But running the same with Racket tells me the test fails. I have a solution for this by removing #\return from the strings to be compared. Question though: Can I solve this problem in a simpler way? May be I overlooked something in the docs?
