I have created a branch to demonstrate the issue:

svn+ssh://baijum@svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/baijum-project-name-with-underscore

Please look at this test file: src/zc/buildout/project_name_issue.txt

http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/baijum-project-name-with-underscore/src/zc/buildout/project_name_issue.txt

When I run the test cases like this, I am getting error:

$ ./bin/test -t project_name_issue
