Hi Thomas (and list), I have run into what appears to be a limitation with [pool], namely that it crashes with something around ~780 characters loaded from a file as values in a key.
I ran into this loading a particularly long list in Memento. I've attached a patch and a file from which to load to experience the crash. The file is just a little over the character count needed to crash it (it seems to be between 780 and 800?). It does not seem to be a function of the number of elements in the list, but rather the length of the text in those elements. Shorten a few of the values in the list and it loads right up. I'm also pretty sure this is a per-key limitation, as memento's lddir first loads files into /tmp before copying them into the proper key. I've used that with a file that was just under the crashing length and that worked fine (loaded into two keys). I have tested this on both my PPC Mac and my Intel Mac; maybe others can check it out too? (also to clarify, the problem occurs when loading data from a file; data of any length (that I've tried) makes it into the pool without issue, and saves without issue) Thanks! Luke
