...by this code, and eventually leaked.
It's too bad it isn't cleaned up (freed), but looking at the callers,
fixing this leak would be mildly noisy (though not particularly
invasive). How much do we care about this leak?

It seems weird to be cleaning up files this test didn't create
(test.utf8.raw and test.utf32.raw).

Resetting to HEAD here is an important cleanup action, but tests don't
usually clean up files such as 'err.out' since such detritus doesn't
usually impact subsequent tests negatively. (Just an observation; no
re-roll needed.)
