We upgraded to CruiseControl 1.5.7256.1 a couple months ago (from
1.4.4 ... forgotten exact version).  All is running well, except the
unit tests for one of our projects are intermittently failing with a
return code of -1073741819.

This is a PowerBuilder project, and the unit test consists of running
the built exe with parameters which put it into unittest mode.
Normally if a test has failed we exit with a return code of 1 which we
test for and fail the build.

We are now getting an intermittent -1073741819 which seems to happen
for a while and then go away for a while (e.g. we might not get it for
a week or so, and then get it on very build for several days)

I have run the exact same command from a DOS prompt (same user,
machine and parameters as when CC runs it).  I have done this several
times without a single failure.  I have run it between CruiseControl
builds both of which have gotten the -1073741819, but it never fails
when run from the  DOS prompt.

The event log shows the faulting module as PBWE115.DLL (one of the
core PowerBuilder runtime files), but as it only ever happens when run
from CruiseControl (and mainly only since we upgraded), I am thinking
that it must be somehow related to CC.

Having looked through a fair bit of the build history I have found
evidence of the tests failing with this return code just once prior to
the upgrade, so it may not be totally new but it is certainly
happening a lot more often since we upgraded.

I would be grateful if anybody could offer any advice of comments on
this issue.

David.
