That can happen.

BTW:
It's one of the reasons why we moved from binary hccapx file to ASCII hash file. The new format is much better to handle / readable by common bash tools.

Thanks for all the recommendations, i have a bit to learn..

Well i found the culprit......
turns out all my issues ended up being HIP API (HIP 4.4), even tho i receive no errors whats so ever.

many may hours playing with commands etc...
