[Pytables-users] Unable to remove all rows in a table

[Ashley W. <ash...@sy...>]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with Table.removeRows(), which doesn't want to 
remove all the rows from a table.  Python crashes if I try to remove 
all the rows from a table:

     table.removeRows(0, table.nrows)

MacOSX crashes with a bus error, while Windows 2000 has a memory error 
and prints a message about "HDF5: inifinite loop closing library".

I did try the latest snapshot (pytables-20050204.tar.gz) on MacOSX, and 
the problem didn't go away.

Burrowing down makes it look like the problem is in H5TBdelete_record 
in H5TB.c, but then things started getting too hard for me!

Cheers,
Ashley
