Moving many files may crash NDN

[dandv 0]

This is the second time I got this error, and the conditions to reproduce were the same. However, I can't sistematically reproduce it, so please check the NDN.ERR at http://home.arcor.de/dandv/MovingManyFiles.zip

 

Steps to attempt to reproduce:

 

1. In a directory, have around 10,000 .txt files.

2. Select them all, and rename them to something else (I renamed *.txt to Efr*.cnm)

3. After renaming some of the files, NDN might crash with the error in the ZIP file at the URL above.

 

Note that the FILE filed of the error is messed up.

 

I'm sorry I can't provide precise info on how to reproduce this one,

Dan

It sure is. What if the user moves the files to another drive, so they must be copied, but NDN copies the last file (before it crashes) only partially? Just an example.

I reproduced it once with only 1000 files.

 

To create the files, you can simply run this from the command line:

for /L %i in (1, 1, 10000) do echo "File %i" > "file%i.txt"
