Matt, Thanks for the answer. I could fix my issue regarding unbalanced events - and so SNES ex5 does work well too. By the way, such imbalance does not trigger errors when log_view is using plain ascii output, but it does fail when ascii_xml is used instead.
Unfortunately, regarding absolute paths, I had also tried to use cygwin paths (`/cygdrive/c/...`) but that does not work either.
