A lot of "check_load" tests are failing now. These tests correspond to
just opening a document and checking whether there is terminal output.

They can be run with the following command:

  ctest -R "check_load"

Usually I just open them manually and check. For example, the following test is failing:

  check_load/doc/Additional

If I just open Additional.lyx manually, I see many of these messages:

  lyx2lyx warning: 
  lyx2lyx warning: Malformed LyX document: noprefix line not found where it should be.
