<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Right now if I run Erik’s example I get:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>WARNING level 0 from host 8992d193.ncsa.illinois.edu process 0
  in thorn cactus, file qc0-mclachlan.par:1:
  -&gt; ERROR IN PARAMETER FILE:Parse Error
Expected one of the following characters: &#39;[&#39;, &#39;=&#39;

ML_BSSN_FH_Helper::ML_BSSN_FH_CalculateRHSInMoLPostStep

ADMBase::evolution_method         = &quot;ML_BSSN&quot;
^
</pre></div>


<p>which has no line number (or if “1” is supposed to be the line number, it;s wrong). The carret seems to point to the next line still. So of the issues reported seem to still be present to me.</p>
