[jcifs] RE: jCIFS corrupt files

That's what I thought. I was wrong.  I'm still seeing the same problem.

Pardon me for being incomprehensible.  I haven't gotten much sleep lately. I had stress tested our app with jCIFS pretty thoroughly, but this didn't show up until the worst possible time.  It seems that slow machines (like our test servers which I stress tested on) don't do it nearly as often, if at all.  I'm still trying to narrow down circumstances and find a workaround.

Thanks,
Barry Roberts

Barry,

Pardon me for being dense (I'm good at it, however, and I've learned to 
play to my strengths)...  I don't understand what you are saying in the 
message above.

You say "I have not been able to reproduce any corrupt files."  Does that
mean that you believe the problem is resolved?  I am not sure where the
problem existed (you code, our code, the JVM, the compiled bytecode).  
Any clues?
