[SciPy-Dev] line endings in test failures?

[Skipper Seabold]

I was working on some tests and I noticed that the AssertionError
raised by a test failure contains a line ending, '\n'.  I'm using
*Ubuntu/Linux, Python 2.6.5, and numpy version '2.0.0.dev8391'

Is this intended?  A nose issue?  Not a big deal I guess, but it makes
test output hard to read.

Here's an example of a failure in scipy version '0.8.0.dev6392'

======================================================================
FAIL: test_x_stride (test_fblas.TestCgemv)

but just from the interpreter

>>> raise AssertionError('\n hello \n hello')

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
