I don't know where exactly the BTG loading code starts. But at least the function generating the mentioned "We detected an error" message (SGBinObject::read_bin) doesn't have a version check. It does read the version and then makes version-dependent decisions on how to interpret data (i.e. "if (version >= 7) ....) - but there is no such thing as a check for a maximum version. And guess what error you get when reading/parsing the data area goes wrong. :-> cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
