See attached example. Still can go negative when the model syntax has custom start values. I suppose this might mean that the test is also just not correct if the user has start values in their syntax.

Here's a re-run with 0.6-1.1176. No longer negative, but the numbers are totally different and don't match 0.5-20 (which was one version we may have had some independent confirmation that the tests were correct).

Out of curiosity, however, I re-ran with 0.5-20. 0.5-20 matches 0.6-1.1163 (and has a negative difference test). Problem appears to be with the starting values for one of the error variances.

The discrepancies in the present version (0.6-1.1176) appear to start with version 0.6-1.1164 and go through a few iterations of different numbers. If we have independent confirmation of a correct difference test at some point, I'd vote for adding this to the tests folder.

Finally fixed in 0.6-4. The results match (again) the 0.5-20 results.
