Take the file http://mekk.waw.pl/download/scid/pgnscid_fail.pgn
and try running
pgnscid pgnscid_fail.pgn
The result is somewhat unexpected considering the file contains
just two games:
Converting file pgnscid_fail.pgn to Scid database pgnscid_fail:
Errors/warnings will be written to pgnscid_fail.err.
[0% 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100]
[.......................................
ERROR: Too many player names! The maximum allowable number is 1048575.
Aborting pgnscid; try using a smaller PGN file.
Even more interesting thing: while trying to examine it, I added one-line
diagnostic printf to the scid sources (NameBase::AddName, namebase.cpp):
if (Header.numNames[nt] >= NAME_MAX_ID[nt]) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error: %d names of type %d registered!",
Header.numNames[nt], nt);
return ERROR_NameBaseFull; // Too many names already.
}
The result:
Error: 1931506803 names of type 0 registered!
Is something overwritting memory somewhere???
PS self-compiled scid 3.6.24, linux i386
PS I know, this PGN is not very typical. Nevertheless...
