Which is not surprising. The issue was that Duplicate was not creating a true copy under certain situations. Instead it was creating pointers. This then would cause problems just like using app/session/server vars w/o locking, as Marianne describes below.
I don't remember the exact situation where Duplicate failed. I believe it was different from where StructCopy failed. If I remember right it was something pretty deep - like a struct having an array that had structs itself. Eitherway, if you are running 4.5, just get the hot fix. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Daye, Marianne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 7:45 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Request Scope Questions > > > Well, the 'issue' (to put it mildly) that we experienced > appeared to be one > of memory corruption.
