I wanted to do doing some testing with the account.his file so I

I wanted to do the same. I quit TB, replaced the account.his, started

Erm ... new users have empty history lists, so it doesn't happen to
them. Another fix is to delete the existing history list. The problem
is a corrupt list, not a bug in the code (although the code should be
robust enough to withstand the corruption, but that's not the point

O yes of course, I didn't think about that. ;-)

 The problem is a corrupt list, not a bug in the code (although the
 code should be robust enough to withstand the corruption, but that's

Maybe they should write a piece of code that would delete the history
file when it's corrupted, instead of closing the whole program.

Are you sure? The impression I had was that it was only mature /

Once the history was restarted the bug was gone.

Quite right, but I don't think that's the case. I could be wrong, but
I've never seen *ever* the problem myself and have *always* had

So why are you all (both?) saying new users are going to have this

Don't know how new they were though, if they run in to the history bug

I have winXP with an NTFS filesystem, I shouldn't have file corruption

a few times in another version, maybe then ?

No. By corruption in this context, all that is meant is invalid
data. How it got there is that TB wrote it there. Because of a bug.
That's all that's being said.

What you're not appreciating is that some specific event/data/action
is causing TB to create that corruption in the data. That specific
thing hasn't yet been sufficiently documented or isolated for RITlabs
to fix it. Simple. It may be because of the format of an address in
the history file. I'd like someone with a .his file that causes it to
file a report on the BugTraq and upload the file as evidence. Then
we'll see a fix. Folks that just switch it off or shout hey - it
sucks - it broke are not advancing the cause.

Not getting at you personally here, just trying to spell out what it
takes to get the issue sorted out and clarify what the issue is due to.

got it, appreciate it. I'll turn it back on and see if it gets corrupt
again, I'll be happy to upload a file, I just assumed it had already
been documented and bugtraqed. I'm not normally the first to find a

MDP Not getting at you personally here, just trying to spell out what it
MDP takes to get the issue sorted out and clarify what the issue is due to.

I understand your position, thanks for the clarification :0)

 Maybe they should write a piece of code that would delete the history

Or maybe write a better error trapper for that section.  I had this occur on the
other computer I installed it on within a couple of hours of installing it [TB
1.60c].  I might spend some time, and try regenerating it, and let Ritlabs know
how I did it.  It seems we've all come to the conclusion it is a corrupt history
file, as disable using it seems to resolve the issue.

MDP I'd like someone with a .his file that causes it to file a

PC and CRASH!

PC I did a search and didn't find a .his file in my TB folders,

There should be \The Bat!\MAIL\history.his

I don't know which one is used for this (they both seem to have
address history information)...

PC and I couldn't find the link on the ritlabs page to report a bug.

It is in the footer of each TBUDL message. g see below (last line I

Okay, thought I'd re-enable my history, see if I could possibly track
down the issue that may be causing it... I noticed two things... I
don't think the .his file is corrupt, but contains an extra character
that it shouldn't.  I'm assuming this because the subject line is
recorded in there too, and I've not had it fail on the subject line.
The other thing is this:

I just re-enabled my history option, started typing an address, paused
for a second to let it catch up, and that happened.
