This can happen only at the end of the variable list, when the variable driver tried to append a new entry but was interrupted early. Also without a valid header you don't have NameSize and DataSize. So you can't calculate the size of the entry to continue following the chain. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
