I remember reading about a patch for a filesystem routine about applications accessing file read/write operations-- not sure if which library exactly does this.. so i'm posting about this loss of data.. it may just be xchat but I have suspicions that it isn't.. thanks for the good work.. * xchat's save_config() function: (1) leaves the output file open if it fails to write data (2) returns a success indicator, which all its callers ignore I'm not sure whether these can explain the above behaviour, but if I can spot these bugs in 5 minutes then there are probably others that can.
