  thrown. This happens when trying to create an internal stats
  map using a template map. The exception text will look like
  the following:
  The map name xsastats_info_<map set name> for ObjectGrid
  <grid name> matched more than one template map
  ([.*, xsastats_info_<map set name>.*])

  *                  maps and have a template that matches an    *
  *                  internal template map used by the           *
  *                  statistics function.                        *

  *                      conflict with the internal template     *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The eXtreme Scale template map function was updated to handle
  internal template maps differently to not have the conflict so
  that the exception is no longer thrown.  As a result, the
  statistics code functions correctly.
