[petsc-dev] Strange issue with testsuite

[Scott Kruger]

It's something like this:

cd arch-debug-uni/tests/sys/tests/runex54_1_options_file-ex54options_1a_wrong/

cat  *.tmp       #  Does anything look fishy?
cat diff*.sh     # see how diff test with filter is being setup by harness
./diff*.sh       # run the diff test


Hopefully you can see what's the problem is in more detail.  These error
catching tests are tricker to debug than the normal tests.
