run-tests vs phpruntests

Does anyone have any strong views on how 'forgiving' run-tests.php should be? For example, this test: ext/libxml/tests/bug61367-read.phpt has this --INI-- section: --INI-- open_basedir=. ; Suppress spurious "Trying to get property of non-object" notices error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE run-tests.php just ignores any line that is not of the form 'something=somethingelse', in the parallel run-tests.php code we currently throw an exception in an INI setting is not of the form 'something=somethingelse', so this test won't run because of the 'comment' line. The behaviour should be consistent which can be achieved either by modifying tests or making the new code do what run-tests.php currently does. I have a slight preference for not allowing anything in an INI section except an ini setting, this would mean changing these two tests. Anyone have strong views either way? Zoe
