There is a typo here, and $expect is written to `expected', but
`test_cmp' wants `expect'.  Fixing those mistakes does not reveal any
broken tests.

I thought at first you meant that the typo was s/expected/expect, and
wondered how this could possibly have passed. But the typo is
s/sucess/success/, so we were in fact not running the test at all (and
were generating "test_expect_sucess: not found" messages to stderr, but
outside of any test block. Yikes.

Thanks for spotting.
