I really noticed it when I ran a backup last night and there were many of these errors. It has also started affecting documents I really care about. I was wondering if I somehow have compression enabled. I didn't do it on purpose! :) I remember reading some comment about lzo being messed up and the patches not included in mm yet? This is rc1-mm2 so I thought it might be fixed, but I guess not. Here is a snippet of a shell session showing the problem. It's a good thing it didn't affect the OpenOffice format original! $ cat * >/dev/null cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument $ cp URL\ Database\ Design.doc.backup{,.test} $ cat * >/dev/null cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup.test: Invalid argument $ echo blah >> URL\ Database\ Design.doc.backup.test=20 $ cat * >/dev/null cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument $ ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 286720 2007-07-31 18:16 URL Database Design.doc.bac= kup -rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 286725 2007-08-01 15:48 URL Database Design.doc.bac= kup.test -rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 154915 2007-07-31 16:53 URL Database Design.odt -rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 154915 2007-07-31 18:16 URL Database Design.odt.bac= kup As you can see, a copy shows the same problem. But adding "blah\n" to the end makes the problem go away... --=20 Zan Lynx --=-QYHFUZTKOA+DKdoivn/q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGsQGtG8fHaOLTWwgRAihUAJ9zxpMnF3oixefHAKcJfF1zpZKERACfU1zS 6oEV8QjTvX35wBw/OT0j+2g= =cGJF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-QYHFUZTKOA+DKdoivn/q--
