I get a similar result "by hand" by, e.g., putting the command

echo $index

inside the shell loop in plplot_test/test_ada.sh (or any of the other
scripts in that directory if a problem occurs for a different language).

But you are right, there should be a plplot_test.sh option passed to the
various plplot_test shell scripts to echo the command line automatically
(rather than just echoing the index as above).  Such an option would work in
the install tree where you are running plplot_test.sh directly, and we could
automatically use the suggested plplot_test.sh --verbose option whenever we
run ctest.  (Note, the plplot_test.sh --verbose output will only show for
that case if you invoke the --verbose option for ctest which is exactly what
we want.)

I will implement this idea soon.  Thanks for bringing up the issue.
