RE: [Passwordsafe-users] "out of memory" error!

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Ah, that's better!

It indeed seems that the file in question got corrupted. Here's why: One of
the first things that's encrypted in the file is the length of the actual
data. This is read and decrypted, and memory is allocated accordingly. If
this is somehow corrupted, then a HUGE amount of memory is (trying to be)
allocated.

Hi Rony,

Thanks for your response.

Here are my answers for your questions:
1. version 1.7
2. everytime for that particular file.
3. 1KB
4. only that particular file, other files are fine.
5. only 3 entries.
6. I am using Window 2K Pro, 512MB ram. I have other large applications but
are fine.

My guess is that particular file might get somehow corrupted. But I donot
know how.
I appreciate your help on this.

Best Regards,
Will
