As for a Corrupt EXE - I doubt it. How could it be corrupt - such that the
system Works - but, adds strange records. I suspect a truly corrupt EXE
would just Crash or Not work at all! I think the culprit is elsewhere...
Very simple. It could be corrupt with the system working
except it adds strange records. The point of something being corrupt
is that you do not know what it does.
There was a bug something like this in dBASE III Plus. You
could join a collection of compiled programs into one file. When you
did this, if you exceeded some limit, a bad file would be silently
generated. The file would appear to run fine. The problem was that
some of the code did not appear in the file, and when such code was
called, it would be treated as if that code consisted of simply a return.
