 This test changes the way test data is compared. Instead of comparing line
 by line, it forms a key of the (t,x,y,z) coordinates and compares the
 values at those coordinates. Consequently, I also disable the check that
 the required number of procs are used. This allows us to have one set of
 test files, generated on a single proc, and run the test suite with
 multiple procs. This should make the disk space occupied by tests smaller,
 and make the existing tests more flexible.
