This could be a hint for the unwanted behaviour.
I'll test that next week and give you more details.

Sorry, I am too slow to follow here.
Assuming the output contains nothing for vc7 to parse that triggers an error,
the result code is (should be) 0 even in the vicinity of expected failures - 
right?

Again: why must I switch off the result code for vc7 in such a case?
