      From: sjack@dontemail.me              Ha,ha. Fooled myself looking at file id (FDIID) for zero value to       indicate cleanup took place. When file i/o failed because file foo       didn't exist, FDIID never got set so was always zero. (there were       other means of verifying that cleanup code got accessed, e.g. the       "FVIEWS abandon' being printed.       But to see FDIID being reset I needed to at least get the file opened       and then have it fail. So just open a corrupt file. No! Whatever I       put into a file, nulls and control characters, does not make the i/o       fail! To have failure has to be done on my end in processing the       data. So patched UABORT into a low level part that was acting       on the data. Mission achomplished.              --       me              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
