Scott (10-02-98 01:49): >I'm not sure about the details of this problem, but when testing another buffer overflow, I created a long filename called "testfile.txt " >(note the chr(160)'s at the end) It is 235 characters in length. After creating it on my desktop, I right clicked on it; explorer crashed saying it caused an illegal operation. the only way I found to close this was by using command.com I sent this to a friend and he got the same error. I tried the same under Windows NT 4 Workstation SP3, except the file name length was only 225 bytes, called "hello.txt(lots of spaces)(chr(160))", and Explorer crashed as well here. It seems to be an Explorer-only bug, as no other application I've tried went down. Oh well, another buffer overflow.. _______________________________________________________________________ Allan Jensen Scientific Atlanta Arcodan A/S Phone +45 73122150 System Administrator Augustenborg Landevej 7 Direct +45 73122154 IT-Support DK-6400 Sonderborg Fax +45 74423907 ajeat_private http://www.arcodan.com
