[Blocks-development] V0.16.1 bug - unexpected recursion

[Blat F. <pet...@ho...>]

Looks like Michael managed to catch the obscure bug
that looks to be the cause of the infrequent
intermittent crashing problem on all platforms.

Heres what happens...

When blockgui/blockd checks its network connections
and one breaks for exceptional reasons, this causes
a callback so that the library and GUI can remove the
connection from the active list. The GUI refreshes and
calls the default FLTK idle process, which I have set
up to check the network connections. Round and round
we go until something breaks. Its actually a little
more obscure than this, but you get the idea :-)

I'll investigate further and create a patch soon, or
if anyone has a preference, I could up the length of
filenames to 128 and release V0.17. That might give
people a little more incentive to upgrade.

ttfn

PG.
