Intersting point.  Is this solved by inserting “nonfailed” between “all” and “images”?  Or do we also need to append “, or all images have failed” at the end of the sentence, to catch that end case? We don’t want a program that has all images failed to continue to “hang around” waiting for something to happen ( probably reaching an externally set time limit for the job, or the user’s resource allocation  expiring). 


Cheers,
Bill
