There was a bug in the purge code before version 2.5c that meant that
it was possible that there would be a divide by zero error on some
types of filesystem.  It must be the case that the NTFS/DOS filesystem
that you are using is one of those cases.


I don't currently have access to a Win95/98/NT machine to be able to
produce another set of execuatbles.  If you, or anybody else, have the
cygwin tools then you can compile the latest version of WWWOFFLE
(2.5e).  If not then you will need to wait until I have access to a
machine, perhaps in a months time.
