Umberto,

Agreed.  I can only really detect that no output file was created,
but I'll modify things to categorize these seperately.  I already
warn of them as being urgent issues.

I also made a run through the msautotest/gdal and msautotest/misc
tests trying to make them more "stable".  I discovered that the
data and EXTENT region for most gdal maps were such that sampling
fell right on pixel boundaries making results very sensitive to
floating point rounding issues.

Sounds good.

I'm also getting crashes in msautotest/mspython/rqtest.py sometimes
when I use the fgs-msx binaries.  But I'll continue to dig into that.
I'm not sure what is causing it.

Best regards,
