[Quickfix-developers] FileStore crashes in .NET?

[Rick L. <ric...@gm...>]

Greetings,

Have there been any documented instances of QuickFix causing an 
application crash in .NET related to the FileStore?  My application was 
running along just fine, entering no orders (and with no orders, and 
therefore no execution reports) for a couple hours after a very busy 
morning.  So for about an hour, the only traffic through QuickFix 
should've been heartbeats.  I received an Application crash -- not the 
good kind, the kind that pretty  much doesn't let you do any sort of 
recovery -- for the first time (I've gotten many crashes due to a null 
pointer, etc., but these can be caught and therefore recovered from).

I'm not 100% sure QuickFix caused this -- I'm in the process of thumbing 
through the memory dump created by Dr Watson (I'm not very good at this) 
-- but the quickfix_net dll keeps popping up in the log, so I decided to 
go check out the FileStore file.  I was surprised to see it was nearly 
12 MB (which I guess because of a busy morning, this is to be 
expected?).  This crash could very well have been due to the market data 
portion of my app (which listens to the CME's FIX/FAST data stream) but 
I thought I was handling those types of errors better than this, so I 
just wanted to see if anyone else has seen unexpected crashes w/ the 
.NET quickfix library, possibly having something to do with the FileStore?

Thanks in advance,
Rick
