std_problem_grader2 is not supposed to record an attempt if the student has a syntax error. I tried putting it in a problem with
 install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader2);
and submitted an answer with a syntax error. The attempt was counted.

Looking at its code in PGanswermacros, it initializes a variable for keeping track of whether or not to record the attempt, but it doesn't modify that variable, so it always thinks that there are no syntax errors.
