I don't get this failure (this is one file I did test!).
The problem is that in var-cmd.c:do_children_tests(), the member
struct_declarations.character is uninitialized. So you in the output
you get whatever random value was on the stack. In your case this
apparently was 0, but in my case it was -44. The proper thing to do
is probably change var-cmd.c to properly initialize the member. But
my naive attempt at doing this caused a lot of other failures. Since
I don't really understand what this mi stuff is doing, can you please
look into it?
