<html><body><div>I don't know of any outstanding bugs with the filestore.&nbsp; Do you have any kind of stack trace.&nbsp; Keep in mind that the quickfix_net.dll will pretty much always show up because events are being passed from quickfix to your application.&nbsp; So crashes in your application will generally appear to start out in the quickfix dll.&nbsp; 12 MB is pretty big, but not outrageous and I've seen bigger.&nbsp; None of it is kept in memory, it's only read in as needed for resend requests and such.&nbsp; Any idea if one was being processed during your crash?</div>

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?
