Yes, and it should be, especially since there's a final "catch all" clause:

// Any other line that falls out when we are busy is a stop. We
// might blank a previous message or display this message
if (stateIsOn(s_appBusy))
{
    if ((strncmp(buf, "No ", 3)==0) && strstr(buf, "not meaningful"))
    {
        kdDebug(9012) << "Parsed (not meaningful)<" << buf <<  ">" << endl;
        actOnProgramPause(QString(buf));
        return;
    }
    kdDebug(9012) << "Unparsed (default - busy)<" << buf << ">" << endl;
    actOnProgramPause(QString());
    return;
}

which really catches all other lines :-/
I'm not sure if I can simply disable all these tests, I guess you had a reason 
to write them this way.


Another pro for the MI mode: when downloading the file e.g. over the serial 
line to the target, you get progress messages in MI mode, which could be used 
to provide a nice progress bar.
