This has not actually been an observed problem, but I just realized while working on smb optimizations that this condition would not be reported by chksmb.

Log Message:
Detect and report all messages with overlapping headers.

i've been seeing something that may be similar with new files added to the system with addfiles (executed from tickit)... when i look at my files listings in the BBS, i'll see "strange" files marked as offline but their name is part of another file's description and their description is part of that other file's description... i have successfully removed those ""files"" from the listings by using the remove command within the BBS... the real files are not affected by this remove AFAICS... this is why i was asking about how to see offline files (on IRC) the other day... i have no idea where to look to try to figure out this problem...

i forgot to add that i do have terminal captures of what i've seen and done to fix the problem if you need to see them... not sure if they will help but i do have some...

Whatever the issue, it's not related to SMB as the current filebase doesn't use SMB. If you figure out how to reproduce the problem or send me the data files (data/dirs/*) for the corrupt areas, I'll have a look-see.

Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/home/rswindell/sbbs/src/sbbs3

Modified Files:
chksmb.c
Log Message:
If message's index offset exactly matches another message, that's already reported as "Duplicate index offset", so overlapping headers means the
index offset must not be an exact duplicate, so we don't report the same corrupt message parameter (its offset into the header file) 2 different
ways.

yeah, i know it doesn't use SMB :) it was just the similarity of parts overlapping that drew my attention...

data files (data/dirs/*) for the corrupt areas, I'll have a
look-see.

i hadn't thought about saving the data files before cleaning them up... i'll keep an eye out and grab them the next time i see the problem and get them to you...

i don't know if you saw it or not but i did send you an email sunday evening with two of my files bases' database files zipped and two screenshots of the problem... one shot for each area...

FWIW: the only things touching tho filebases are addfiles (via tickit) and sbbs... nothing 3rd party or self-written...

I saw and saved the email. I haven't looked at it yet. Most likely it's an addfiles bug. Do you have the input file to addfiles and the command-line that may have caused the corruption?

ok...

Do you have the input file to addfiles and the command-line that may
have caused the corruption?

i can dig out the command line from my logs but tickit deletes the files.bbs file it creates when it is finished... it actually writes a new one for each file being imported...

it is actually a pretty generic command... only the area ID (and uploader name in my case) changes each time while the rest of the line stays the same... here's one of the 5 or 6 executed today...

Feb 18 16:22:07 sestar sbbs: evnt TICKIT Executing: '/sbbs/exec/addfiles fdist-xofchubs -x "XOFCHUBSLST File Dist" -zd +/sbbs/temp/event/tickit-files.bbs 24 13

/sbbs/data/addfiles.log 2>&1'.

none of the areas processed today show any corruption at this time...
