Step 4 Overlay Error messages

I and another user are seeing this now:

============================================================
A tile folder is created in the Overlays folder but that folder is empty.
I did not know if it has anything to do with P7zip:
brew info p7zip
p7zip: stable 16.02 (bottled)
That particular error was discussed countless times in the Ortho4XP support forum:

I have tried reading what I can of the related posts. Yes there are many posts, but I have as of yet to find a root cause and a solution for the same.
I can not find a common thread and this issue seems to have been around for some time. Also, it seems to be random. However when I get this error message, if I select only Extract overlays from the Batch build tiles and then click on Batch Build, the process runs as expected and the requisite files are created.
