Scott, There is a problem. Somehow you are generating a ton of new_ex*.c files and then testparse.py is crapping out on them? I see some weird stuff with these files but cannot tell when they are made and why they exist. config/gmakegentest.py: #if not exfile.startswith("new_"+"ex"): continue config/testparse.py: new_pos = sl.instream.tell() config/testparse.py: block = striptest[last_pos:new_pos] config/testparse.py: last_pos = new_pos config/testparse.py: bn=re.sub("new_","",basename) config/testparse.py: for test_file in sorted(glob.glob("new_ex*.*")):

Looks like it is coming from some old .c files that I had lying around that are not in the repository.

I will push a commit that prints the offending file name to make the cause easier to track down in the future

I'm baffled and unable to reproduce. Can you give me your configure.log to help reproduce?

Scott,

In the branch barry/2021-11-04/add-dmplex-vecghost which was just rebased on main I get

How to track down the problem? Is it due to a bad rule from some file (which file, could that be printed?)
