 Priority:  minor   |   Milestone:                     
Component:  Cactus  |     Version:  development version

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Right now if one tries to activate more thorns than the total number of
 thorns compiled into the executable, Cactus aborts with
 {{{
 WARNING level 0 in thorn Cactus processor 0 host horizon.tapir.caltech.edu
   (line 951 of
 /mnt/data/rhaas/postdoc/gr/Zelmani/configs/null/build/Cactus/main/ActiveThorns.c):
   -> Internal error
 }}}
 this is utimately due to Cactus creating a list of maximum size number-of-
 compiled-in-thorns to record the number of thorns that are requested to be
 activated.

 The attached patches automatically grows this list whenever it would
 otherwise be too small (doubles the size).

 An alternative would be to implement stringlist using a std::map object,
 however the mapping of the std::map interface to what StringList provides
 is cumbersome.

 ok to apply?
