sorry if I misunderstood your posting, but the above seems a bit of a
digression :). 

I don't have an issue with receiving a "line at a time" from the Error
Parser Manager. My issue with the Error Parser Manager is, that it trims
the leading spaces of each line of the tool output _before_ they are
passed to our own Error Parser.

The continuation detection problem can be solved nicely, without peeking
beyond the current line, by making the Error Parser stateful (which some
might say is the same as "peeking backwards" ;). This however is not
something that affects the Error Parser Manager in any way.

Just my 2 cents worth of opinion :).

Kind regards,
Elias.
