     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new                
 Priority:  minor   |   Milestone:                     
Component:  Cactus  |     Version:  development version
 Keywords:          |  
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 The current implementation of the the parfile parser reports thorns not
 present in the executable as originating from the last ActiveThorns line
 seens rather than from the one that actually mentions the thorn.

 Example:
 {{{
 ActiveThorns = ThornThatDoesNotExist
 ActiveThorns = IOUtil
 ActiveThorns = AnotherThornThatDoesNotExist
 }}}

 {{{
 $ cactus_sim parfile.par
 Activating thorn Cactus...Success -> active implementation Cactus
 Activation requested for
 --->ThornThatDoesNotExist IOUtil AnotherThornThatDoesNotExist <---

 Mostly this confusing if one wants to jump to the right location in the
 file based on the supplied line number.
