This morning, the code that pulls the system mailbox into a local Incoming file created a file called 'Incominga003.Z'. The problem should be apparant: the '.Z' "extension" gets the file flagged as compressed, so the compression code tries to decompress it; since it is not compressed, this fails. The solution: do not allow periods in the pseudo-random Incoming file names. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMZiITZ6VRH7BJMxHAQGwpwQAoWYSLNBsVaCTxQaVl/2xT17nwvseSPgS Iqpk/C8QXevS5IFnGI92nT1kgBo/T+M9uNy5PGQwcubz8k0ve11VJbtX16OWDC5K 7k7SeNwywQvzXVU42UTqpv/3aYr+20MB7uBGO/TdhmLhwiiRFQ705MEQxhBKQBeN B1Q8GKxfJso= =H/kV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Richard Pieri/Information Services \ Variety is the spice of life: one day \ ignore people, the next day annoy http://www.dfci.harvard.edu/ \ them. -A cat's guide to life
