It's been reproduced on Vista x64 and x86 OS's. I don't have a pre-SP1 installation to verify if it happens against pre-patched versions.
Getting a database should be easy enough ... CREATE TABLE FOO(a, b, c, d, e, f); Then do this about 16 million times or so ... whatever it takes to pump the db up to the 4-5gb mark: INSERT INTO FOO VALUES(random(), random(), random(), randomblob(16), randomblob(16), randomblob(32)); -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sherief N.

[Sherief N. Farouk] Any chance you could make a small C program to reproduce this case (via procedurally creating a similarly-sized database)? Out of curiosity, was that on x86 or x64? - Sherief _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
