That's a bug. Attached a patch to fix it.
I would'nt expect such a quick reaction on saturdays! Thank you for the fix!
This is really a configuration problem. When using the "prefer" tag, you also tell bbhostgrep to look at only the "preferred" entry in the bb-hosts file. So you really should have put the network tests on the preferred entry in bb-hosts.
bbtest-net takes a somewhat more cautious approach, and performs all of the network tests it sees.
But I agree that it is a trap that is easy to fall into. So perhaps bbhostgrep should ignore the "prefer" ? At least when looking for tests to run, which is what it will commonly be used to do. So I've added an enhancement to bbhostgrep which does that.
Thanks again for all these explanations. The prefer tag is now on the network test line and bbhostgrep work as expected.
