I need to reproduce your problem. Therefore I need the configuration and the xxxxxxa.log file containing the offending entries. You can strip it down to the minimum needed to do the crash. 

 In the process of trying to reduce it to a minimum I discovered that the entry that appears to be causing the crash is this:

Hi Stefan,

This has happened twice on this forum now, starting from Mon 23rd November.

Someone submits an entry (Me, 66625, Bertram Metz 66628)
I assume you post a reply (66626, 66629), but it shows up as if I or Bertram are the author of the reply, not
yourself.  My reply to you (66627) was really authored by me, and I expressed puzzlement then at this point.

Is this a bug, or some wierd affect of us forgetting to log out?

Regards,

David.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. This bug was introduced recently, when I tried to avoid the

in the subject line. I changed this now completely so that we can have

Preset on reply Author = $full_name
Preset on first reply Subject = Re: $Subject

which fixes both things. The modification is in revision 2271.

  66651   Thu Dec 10 16:05:59 2009 Question Cliff Shawcliff.shaw@stratosglobal.comBug reportWindows2.7.8Elogd crashes when submitting replies

Hi Stefan,

I recently installed the latest Elog 2.7.8 revision 2277 after running Elog 2.7.7 revision 2246 for several months without any problems. However once I submit an entry by using the Reply command Elog crashes and Windows XP reports an error message screen. This also stops the elogd service.

I have pinpointed it down to the command "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" by removing my whole configuration file and just added the line "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" to your demo configuration file.

Elog seems to also stops the elogd service with any "subst on reply" command.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Regards

Cliff Shaw

No, you never submitted any file. It was missing in all your posts. In worst case send it by email to me.
