Autorunsc 13.100+: inconsistent results

I am using autorunsc to verify that no new startup items registered themselves on my computer. Unfortunately, this only works with versions up to and including 13.98 - version 13.100 will display inconsistent results - that is, if I run the application twice in a row:

autorunsc.exe -a -x -s pepak -nobanner >test1.xml
autorunsc.exe -a
-x -s pepak -nobanner >test2.xml

The generated XML files will not match. A typical difference would be that for some signers I would get "Microsoft Corporation" the first time and "(Verified) Microsoft Windows" the second or vice versa, or "(Verified)" vs "(Verified) Microsoft Windows" or vice verse. If I leave a little bit more time between the attempts (i.e. wait two minutes rather than run them immediately), there may be additional differences, such as a changed order of some autorun items. That of course defeats the purpose because it generates a lot of false positives that need to be manually checked and discarded. Would it be possible to return the 13.98 functionality of consistent outputs between attempts?
