Nicholas Bohm to Satoshi: running 015, with answers to the crash questions (February 1, 2009)

I guess I’d better send this from here also in case there’s more e-mail problems.

I got this message safely from both addresses.

Good news! I pinpointed the bug. The bug could occur if your computer had trouble doing a DNS lookup.

Quite possible. I subscribe to NASA’s image of the day collection through Google Reader (an RSS reader), and for some time I have found that when I click the link for the NASA site, I get a Firefox error page saying “couldn’t find the server); but clicking “try again” gets me through each time. This might be a DNS lookup error, presumably.

The fix is at: http://www.upload.ae/file/14540/bc015-rar.html

I’ve downloaded it and am running 015.

Thanks for all your help and patience with this.

I pleased if it’s a help - there’s always some discomfort in being the bearer of bad tidings!

Just for completeness, I’ll answer the questions in your earlier message:

• Is there anything in db.log?

No

• What operating system are you using?

Windows XP Service Pack 3

• When it crashes, does it put up any other message boxes that say anything else?

See the two screenshots attached. I haven’t got the file mentioned there, e02_appcompat.txt - it is deleted by sending the error report, which I did before thinking to make a copy. However, I sent you the corresponding file for an earlier crash attached to my message of 25th January.

There is also the Event Viewer report, as follows:

• What does it do when it crashes? Is the UI hung or is it still usable?

See the first screenshot: the UI is still visible, and doesn’t close until the error report is sent. I’m not sure whether it’s usable, as I hadn’t thought to try.

I’ll let you know of course if I have anything further to report.

Regards,

Nicholas
