Subject: failed examples reported as passing with MSVC or vice versa
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

While going through our MSVC 8.0 jumbled up log I came across
what looks like incorrect behavior of either the exec utility
or the Windows infrastructure. What seems to be happening is
that while exec reports some examples as passing the rest of
the infrastructure actually says they failed. Below are lines
from the log relevant to the accumulate.exe example.

Andrew and/or Farid, could you guys look into it to see which
part of the infrastructure is broken?

Thanks
Martin
