I think the current behavior is just a dejagnu bug.  I doubt anybody
relies on "PASS" or "FAIL" not appearing at the start of a line.  And
I doubt it was ever intended to work the way it does -- dejagnu wasn't
that carefully built.

Second, I don't think propagation is a big problem.  I thought
everybody was supposed to use the dejagnu in the src repository.

If we were dealing with non-free software I would agree with you.  But
I think with free software we can afford to have a higher standard --
fix the bug where it lies, not work around it elsewhere.
