#71 boxi crashing, bad filename on server, corruption?

[Pete Jalajas]

I was testing Boxi svn r692. Boxi was crashing every time I tried to open on particular directory in the Boxi Restore Files tab. Eventually I turned on Extended Logging on the Boxi Configuration Basic tab. Checking the Windows Event Viewer, I saw an event like:

WARNING: Exception thrown: BackupStoreException(InvalidBackupStoreFilename) at BackupStoreFilename.cpp(93)

So I finally ran:

$ ./boxbackup/parcels/boxbackup-trunk_2699M-backup-client-mingw32/bbackupquery.
exe -wc "C:\Documents and Settings\pj\My Documents\bbackupd.conf"
NOTICE: Box Backup Query Tool vtrunk_2699M, (c) Ben Summers and contributors 2003-2010
Login complete.

Type "help" for a list of commands.

Notice the 2 bad lines with mnt_7c5f71db.n at the end.

Now I can drill down into the bin BackupLocation/directory under the Boxi Restore Files tab.

So, somehow that file got corrupted on the server. I have no clue how or why.
