Thanks.

I have one tiny quibble: the error message (which helpfully includes
a descriptive string unlike much of the rest of osstest) fails to
include the contents of $info.  In general it is a good idea in
osstest to include the complete text which has failed a regexp match.
That greatly assists debugging.

(When you do that you need to make sure that the $info doesn't appear
right at the end of the message, because if the message ends in a
newline it suppresses perl's addition of the script line number.
Adding " ?" or "'" or something is sufficient.)

Can you change that, and then send me a git pull request style email
with a reference to a git branch ?  I'll then send it into the osstest
push gate as soon as it's free.

Thanks,
Ian.
