[Openev-discuss] is_project_file() bug

[Frank W. <war...@po...>]

Folks,

It seems the gvutils.is_project_file() method reads the first line of
the file, and checks to see if it starts with <GvViewApp>.  However,
the readline() function can take a very long time for some very large
binary files that happen to have nothing that looks like an end-of-line
mark.   This method is called by the generic open method and would virtually
lockup for some large binary files.

I have patched this in gvutils.py, but the recent release prepared by
Gillian likely has this problem.

Best regards,
