Hello All!

Nope, I had to rerun a block of updates to try and trace why the program was
locking up.

Finally traced to a Rules file for POLITICS that look fairly old and for some
reason program got in a loop when it could not read beyond the end of file.
One problem was the wrong attributes for it but after that was fixed is still
carried on looping so have to "assume" that there was some very bad data in 
the
file so deleted it.

Needless to say, now all updates have concluded correctly.

May have to add additional tests after reading a record to cover possibly
security issues and no not had to do that for all other application I have
written although the bbs system is run a a high security test level (lot more
checks) so that the system is always protected against possible hackers etc.
The security is so high it does not trap ALL possible error codes.
Must remember to look into this closely but not know - I am tired.

and yes this problem had been running a few months - hence the duplicate runs
on updates and even worse then the trace file is over 1 GB - well over takes
30+ minutes to try and read it in to a text editor.

For reference, during a 24 hour cycle it is below 25K.

Just thought you might want to know :)

Vincent
