I found this in news.arc:
;For some reason vote files occasionally get written out in a
;broken way. The nature of the errors (random missing or extra
;chars) suggests the bug is lower-level than anything in Arc.
;Which unfortunately means all lists written to disk are probably
;vulnerable to it, since that's all save-table does.
I wonder if/how they have fixed this.
- pg 15y agoWe did fix it but I forget how. I know we switched to a log format for vote files. But I'm not sure if that was the fix for this problem or something we did later to improve efficiency.
