Folks,
Just a data point from us here. We ran in to corruption using 0.24.2 on
Mac OS X (server and client, BDB 4.1.25, http access only). Our files
are almost all large PowerPoint, FrameMaker, and jpeg's. I'm just
wondering how much of the Mozilla source tree is large binaries like
this. Our revisions numbers have been up in the 500 or 600's range when
this happened. Maybe it's something to do with repeated commits of
large binaries triggering some strange BDB issues?
