A more preferrable alternative may be adding something like this to
test-lib.sh and call it from here and elsewhere (there are about 50
places that do "test ! -s <filename>"), perhaps?

        test_must_be_an_empty_file () {
                if test -s "$1"
                then
                        cat "$1"
                        false
                fi
        }

I generally just use the two-liner

	>empty &&
	test_cmp empty output

directly in cases like this.

That would work, too.
