Nothing so complicated as the handling of the test scripts: it looks to 
me that
- GUI invokation works ok (interactively loading the test layout and 
exporting it)
- command-line invokation with "-x gerber" does not - which explains why 
the tests with output to gerber fail.

GUI invokation (gerber files produced are ok):
   File -> Load layout -> .../tests/input/gerber_oneline.pcb  and then
   File -> Export layout -> gerber

Command-line invokation (gerber files produced are incorrect, as 
reported in an earlier post):
   pcb -x gerber .../tests/input/gerber_oneline.pcb

The same wrong result is achieved if - rather than calling the installed 
executable of pcb - I call the executable that results from "make" and 
is stored in the tarball/src directory. Probably the small mis-match of 
what is obtained with -x png goes back to the same problem.

I cannot dig into the code of pcb to find more details, and in 
particular, why this is OS specific. Hence, waiting until the problem 
will be reported by other users.
