Hi guys,

Running 7.1.3 on Mandrake Linux 8.0.

Just noticed the numbering sequence which the WAL log used here was :

DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 00000000000000FA
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 00000000000000FB
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 00000000000000FC
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 00000000000000FD
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 00000000000000FE
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000000
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000001
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000002
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000003
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000004
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000005
DEBUG: MoveOfflineLogs: remove 0000000100000006

I would have though that after 00000000000000FE would be
0000000000000100, not 0000000100000000.

Just checked through the Interactive docs (not sure which version of 7.1
they are) and says the numbers should be sequential. Just checked the
archives and didn't find anything regarding this.

Bug or not?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
