I saw this test failing for me in devel/Maverick, and in production-devel/Lucid. I don't know how it spread so widely.

I can fix the helper, but I also found that the reported TestResult changed if I did not do the calculations before the assertEquals() call. If the assertEquals() failed, then *its* TestResult would be used instead, to the great confusion of the developer.

I can change the helper.
