For reference here is the latest example of such a "failure":

09:08:58.217990 315 - Function main finished with an error. PTC terminates.

First we setverdict(pass) and stop testcase execution. Then shortly after when some components are shut down and others still running an outside message or timer in one of our still running components triggers a message on a port that is not connected anymore/where the target component is shut down. This results in a Dynamic test case error.
