Nondeterministic T5559 failures on CI

The T5559 test case occasionally fails on CI, forcing me to restart builds to get a green build status. Here is one example from a validate-x86_64-linux-fedora27 run:

"gs" -dNODISPLAY -dBATCH -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE "profiling/should_run/T5559.run/T5559.ps"
hp2ps output for T5559is not valid PostScript
*** unexpected failure for T5559(profasm)

SUMMARY for test run started at Thu Feb 21 00:32:08 2019 UTC
 0:44:16 spent to go through
    6839 total tests, which gave rise to
   26523 test cases, of which
   19210 were skipped

      42 had missing libraries
    7178 expected passes
      92 expected failures

       0 caused framework failures
       0 caused framework warnings
       0 unexpected passes
       1 unexpected failures
       0 unexpected stat failures

Unexpected failures:
   profiling/should_run/T5559.run  T5559 [bad heap profile] (profasm)

Aside from the nondeterministic test failure, this also reveals a minor bug: it prints T5559is not valid PostScript, which should probably be T5559 is not valid PostScript instead.
