Arnaud, many thanks for submitting your report!

I took a look, and it actually is an amazingly stupid bug in the test itself.
In fact 0xc0 is the correct expected result, which our decoding routines also
actually return, but the author of the test has put two osmo_hexdump() calls
into the same log line. Since osmo_hexdump() uses an internal static buffer,
that can't work: one of the two hexdumps wins, so that both dumped strings are
the same. m(

On our "usual" systems, the expected hexdump wins and it prints them both as
the expected value. On the pi, the actually decoded hexdump wins, and it prints
both "expected" and "decoded" data as what the decoding routine returns.

In other words, the test never before printed expected vs. decoded results, and
the author has never properly checked the stdout / stderr results. The test
does check expected results, but not the remaining bits after the decoded data.

In my/our review, we oversaw the double osmo_hexdump() and a bunch of other
issues. Looking into this triggered a whole series of fixes, more explanations
in the commit logs: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/q/topic:bitcomp_test

The last one also uncovers a test marked "invalid" which seems to be valid, or
fails to be detected as invalid. I don't have a fix for that, would be good if
someone else could look into that.
