>Description:
When the number of FAILs in a testsuite run is large,
contrib/test_summary appears to processes the input log
files more than once.  There must be a buffer overflow
somewhere.

See
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-05/msg00437.html> for an example of the problem.  When the number of FAILs is
even larger, test_summary will loop until it fills the file system.
