- And one problem created. Parity.
-
- Ouch. Since you're using Executor under Linux, here are a few
- suggestions:
-
- Do an ls -lR of the parent directory and send that and a brief
- note to us with that information.
-
- Try manually removing apple double pairs (e.g. file1 and %file1)
- from the folder that you can't open, one at a time, and see if
- you can find one single file pair that causes the file browser
- to crash. Pass information you find back to bugs@ardi.com
-
- Try using makehfv to make a large HFV file that you can expand
- your work into and see if you can run out of that, then let us
- know, one way or the other.
-
- Those suggestions *should* allow us to figure out what's going on. In
- all our testing, we never saw anything like this, so I'm assuming this
- particular problem is rare and is not a showstopper for 1.99n.
-
- Anyone who finds ways to make the Browser crash should send e-mail to
- bugs@ardi.com. If it is likely that lots of people will make Browser
- crash without going out of their way, we'll need to get a fix out ASAP
- and delay hyping Executor to the press, potential investors, etc.

-
- If you send us a phone number and good times to call (yes, I'm aware
- of the time difference), we *might* be able to call you. No
- guarantees since it's after hours and you're overseas, but this is a
- very urgent problem from our perspective as well.
