Likely the machine shut down incorrectly (aka bad crash). The Win32 "port" of GDBM is basically nothing more than mapping 2-3 trivial functions, while the remaining code is common for every platform. The place where the CPU-eating (infinite loop) happens is clearly due to DB file corruption. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
