That should hae got an error.  The test is supposed to verify that the 
assembler issues an error for the bogus argument to a .block statement.

You could have gotten that information from the parse.exp driver file:

    # Now check for an invalid argument
    gas_test_error "block2.s" "" "Check for error on bogus argument to .block"
