O0: all but one input processed 3. O3: none of the inputs processed 4. O1 and O2: all inputs processed without any issues -- this did it. Now the question is: how on Earth did O1/O2 do the trick, and not O0?! Once again, thanks a lot for your detailed and quick responses. George P.S. I will keep @Jakub's bisect idea in mind if something like this happens in the future.
