Original message:
Subject: two fixes to the parser's simple test driver
This patch fixes two issue with the simple test driver. The first is
that child exec that actually ran the parser was located inside the
eval statement. This meant that if the exec failed for some reason
(like the parser didn't exist), the child wouldn't actually die,
but would pop out of the eval and continue running through the loop
of test profiles (while the parent process does the same). This meant
that if the script ran on the full testsuite with a misconfiguration,
it would explode creating O(n^2) processes, where n is the number of
testcase files -- with over 25k testcases, that's a lot. The fis is to
lift the child exec outside the eval{}, then an exec() failure causes
the child process to die correctly.
The second fix is that several of the testcases were added with the
DESCRIPTION field added in lower case (i.e. #=Description blah blah).
This fix makes the regex that pulls out the description not be
case-sensitive.

bashisms which were in place to get around PWD not getting set
correctly. Instead, fix the simple.pl script to call pwd directly.
