I'm running into crashes on Windows trying to build a large wrapped app (>200MB, it's an installer). The problem happens on the second call to Win32::Exe->new->update in Packer.pm (around line 1257). I'm not sure why we need to set the icon and info for the exe both before and after the append_parl/generate_output calls. It seems to work for me if I remove the second update call and just patch the copy of parl.exe before appending the par file.
I've also run into problems trying to use some .ico files (that work fine with other apps). The resulting binary seems to be corrupted. Has anyone else seen similar problems? I traced into the update call to see what was causing the failure. I think perl is running out of memory inside Parse::Binary->load_struct trying to make a copy of the whole program in memory. This seems like an expensive way to update an icon. I'm also suspicious that whatever is causing the problem with different .ico files could be corrupting the heap. I wonder if the Win32::Exe module is not correctly handling some cases. --Scott
