# 1) No existing bin directories.  Both build and test ran fine. As
# expected, the residue files were a bit different: There was no
# path_test.success, and path_test.test contained the word "passed"
# instead of the path to the .cpp file.  I've haven't looked yet to
# see if the lack of the path is a problem for reporting, but
# hopefully the information is trivially available somewhere else.

# caused regression testing to report the wrong results in the past, so it 
# was good news to see it working correctly now. We probably should figure 
# out some other test cases just to be sure it is working for full coverage.
