--- Comment #31 from Yolande Haneder yolande@haneder.biz 2008-01-17 05:05:46 --- I am not messing as you say. I just noticed that I had a directory for each prefix I created. Prefix of wednesday, thursday and Friday 1 (where I made a quick check with the new version before reinstalling a new prefix) have only lock. Friday 2 (0.9.53 + new prefix) and later have 2 files (lock and socket). Getting the last directory resets to the same point as my first test on a new prefix (where a new directory is created without C++ error), later tests with the directory there and I have the C++ error with immediate crash.
I don't bother with testing. As far as I am I have nothing to loose if I have to reinstall everything. Until now I didn't even see this directory.
