I don't understand this one. The string comes from
tests/unit/ptimer-test.c:add_ptimer_tests() but that
code creates the test string using g_strlcat() and
g_strdup_printf(), so I don't see how it could end
up being junk, especially not at that point in
the string. I guess it's possible something else in
the test is managing to corrupt the g_test test name
strings?

Yes, the float tests are massively over-verbose. This
is a problem not just in the length of the test log
but also in finding the actual cause of a test failure,
because often the float tests were running in parallel
with the failed test and print all their very verbose
output after the failed test output, so you have to
scroll back up for miles to find it.
