Anyone have the issue with batching aerender where ae returns an exitcode of 0 "success" yet only renders a portion of the batch?    I've attached two log files,  one is 

"aerender_full_success.rtf"  showing a log from a successful 10-frame batch,  highligting the batch frames,  and the output.   So the node was asked to render frames 211-220, and it rendered them all,  exiting with a success code.

"aerender_partial_false_success.rtf"  shows a log from an attempted 10-frame batch (same job),   and shows the output being only one frame.    Sometimes it's one,  sometimes it will do three,  five,  it's all random.   


AE has many weirdnesses that I have to deal with,   but usually I can parse for errors and auto-requeue the frame.   This one shows no difference that I can see in the log,  it just doesn't render the frames.

Anyone seen this?    I want to report this to Adobe.     I also want to find a pattern here to check for this and re-queue frames.
