+The behaviour of "emacsclient --eval nil" changed from emacs23 to\r
+emacs24, and in emacs24 it prints 'nil' rather than an empty string.\r
+\r
+(format "%S" foo) produces a sexpr form of foo, and is consistent\r
+between the two versions.\r
+---\r
+\r
+This fixes another test failure on emacs24. \r
+\r
+I guess maybe all test_emacs output could be canonicalized this way,\r
+but I suspect that would be pretty disruptive.\r
