Comment (by rhaas):

 I just noticed that the error message reads:
 {{{
 WARNING level 0 in thorn Cactus processor 0 host horizon.tapir.caltech.edu
   (line 1 of env):
   -> Invalid numerical value:  12e
 }}}
 ie the paramter file name is given as just "env" without the ".par"
 extension (which the function get_parfile actually strips). I think for
 error messages one should use the string returned by
 CCTK_ParameterFilename without further modifications. In particular
 get_parfile may or may not modify the returned value so one cannot just
 add ".par" to its returned string to restore the value returned by
 CCTK_ParameterFilename. This might affect other error messages as well.
