It does ignore whitespace changes, so even if we remove that whitespace,
the test won't fail. But I don't think that's a good reason to check in
inaccurate reference output.
There are a few test cases that have a reference output like this and
it's always annoying: When I later add a new subtest, I add the new test
code, review the ./check output and if it looks good, I do something
like 'cp 237.out.bad 237.out'. At that point, I'll have to manually
revert completely unrelated whitespace changes again.
Some 'git am' warnings feel like the lesser evil to me.
