The output is attached.  I collected that by redirecting the test
script's stderr to a file, I hope that's what you meant.

I noticed that the output says:

  converted 'http://<bunch of octal escapes>/' (CP1255) -> 'http://<another 
bunch of octal escapes/' (UTF-8)

So I tried to use --local-encoding=EUC-JP, and that made the test
succeed.  The third attachment below is from that successful run.
