Comment (by rhaas):
Ah, let me see. I *was* modifying the file I had passed on the command line, however *that* file (a copy of einsteintoolkit.th in thornlists) contained
{{{ !DEFINE COMPONENTLIST_TARGET = $ROOT/thornlists/ }}}
which I guess causes GetComponents to overwrite its input when used as
{{{ bin/GetComponents --root . thornlists/bnscomparison.th }}}
I would say it behaves as expected, I just did not know it was that powerful. It may require documentation. I think this ticket can be closed as "wontfix" since it does what it is supposed to do.
