If the path to the wiredtiger build directory contains the wiredtiger ticket number referenced by the checked out branch s_mentions will spit out pages and pages of "mentions".
The following steps can be taken to reproduce this issue:
- Git clone wiredtiger into a directory with a ticket number as its name e.g. wt-9000
- Build the code in build/ or cmake_build/ or build_cmake/
- git checkout a "fix" branch, "wt-9000-fix"
- Run ./s_mentions.
We should fix the script to ignore build directories when running.
