Jim,

When testing different combinations of Y/M for TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG and
TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD in virtme-ng I spotted test failures:

When the TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=M and TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD=M -
BASIC_TESTS, COMMA_TERMINATOR_TESTS, TEST_PERCENT_SPLITTING,
TEST_MOD_SUBMOD selftests passed
When the TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=Y and TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD=M -
BASIC_TESTS, COMMA_TERMINATOR_TESTS selftests passed, however
TEST_PERCENT_SPLITTING selftest fails with ": ./dyndbg_selftest.sh:270
check failed expected 1 on =pf, got 0"
When the TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=Y and TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD=Y -
BASIC_TESTS, COMMA_TERMINATOR_TESTS selftests passed, however
TEST_PERCENT_SPLITTING selftest fails also with ":
./dyndbg_selftest.sh:270 check failed expected 1 on =pf, got 0"

Have I missed something ?

Thanks,
Lukasz
