Interesting one this as there is a very large number of failures compared to recent vb100 tests, I too wonder what it was about.

Further investigation seems it was false positives (1 as IBK said) that were the failure reason no wild list misses.

Better a false positive than a miss detection.

You can't post directly to the results as they are only available to those registered users, they have to logon to get access.

one more adjustment to 0 and all is fine  ;D
