I resent the 0.1.4 file in the previous e-mail. It also contained a bugfix for a bug that was dormant but I thought by process of elimination might have been what you had, but after you told me about Eraser I think it’s more likely to have been Eraser/disk space related.

I guess we are simultaneously trying to debug my e-mail.

We seem to be, as I can only find two messages from you, the one above and the one from vistomail, and neither has any attachments. (I have also again checked the spam quarantine.)

So something odd is happening.

Regards,

Nicholas

Clearly one side or the other is stopping the ones with attachments. I sent you the same file attachment from vistomail about 15 minutes after I sent it from gmx (about 2 hours ago). I’ve successfully sent similar attachments to other people from vistomail many times before.

After this e-mail, which I’m sending without an attachment to make sure it gets through, I’ll try again with a different variation:

  1. stripped debug info, reduces rar filesize from 7.8MB to 1.6MB.
  2. renamed to bc014.rar, in case long filename or periods are the problem.
  3. no gdb.exe.

After that I’ll send bc014a.rar, with bitcoin.exe renamed to bitcoin.dat in case it doesn’t like exe files.

And then I’ll send bc014.rar from vistomail.
