of my students get a pink warning screen on this problem when they
submit the correct answer. Some do not. One seed that gives the pink is

The problem goes away, at least with this seed, if I change
function_cmp_up_to_constant to function_cmp. However, I really don't
want to do this.
Any suggestions?
