Can't reproduce that. Used your config, got the display attached.

just was back from work today! i have installed the new elogd.exe file (after a 
backup!  :-)  ) and restarted the service. there are basicalle two news, a really good 
one an a bad one: 
 
1. the bad: clicking for a threaded display of the logs will still produce an porobem 
as shown in the screendump of the win 2k3 remote controle console (jpeg-attachement). 
 
2. the really good one: the BIG difference to the original 2.5.1 elogd.exe are two 
points: 
2a) the elgog.exe no more hangs! after a while it comes back to the view before 
clicking threaded view. while trying to dispaly the thread it seems to hang, but just 
semms! (white browser, nothing to see) 
2b) after quitting the error it's bossible to use eleg as normal. no restart of the 
service is more needed. before, a restart of the service has to be done because elogd 
was hanging compleatly. 
 
as you tought, it looks like a stack problem ore someting else. sorry, didn't had 
time enough to find out detailed information of 2k3. also develeoper network from ms 
dosn't bring detailed information about memory handling to the public guys  like me. 
 
the other solution my be, as i wrote, to have a switch for switching of threaded 
display, even a treaded view may be very helpfull in an discussion forum. maybe the 
compiler may coming up with a new version or ms will make a pach, for someting 
absolutly different of course  ;-)  , solving this probleme...

Thanks for that, Stefan.

Nor can I in the new version.  Forgive me if I don't investigate further. ;-)

Is there any possibility to start elogd as a service under NT/2000/XP 
having local service as its user? Yes, I've read the documentation. Maybe 
things have changed.

What do you mean by "local service as its user"? If you install elogd as a 
service with FireDaemon or via SRVANY.EXE, you use the "Services" section 
under Computer Management ("Verwalten") to configure the elogd service. 
Although the documentation says that one should use the "This account" with 
the appropriate password, it is possible to use the "Local System account" 
as well. But I'm not 100% sure what implications this has for the ownership 
of the logbook database files, but it should be ok in most cases.

Run into the same error on a windows XP & 2000 machine. Totally shuts down the elogd.exe 
when THREADED is selected. Have not tried your modified version after reading the posted 
results. Will run with summary view until fixed. Wish I could help but I'm not a 
programmer. Let me know if you want to test any new elogd.exe's.

This problem has been fixed now, it was a programming bug. New version under

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/elogd.exe

Many Thank's to Stefan for his work!!! He's doing a great job and is offering a better 
service than most comercial programs! Thank you very much Stefan!!! 
 
The new elogd.exe is now runniung 24h on my Windows 2003 Server without any problems. I made 
a little "stress" test too and there wasn't any problems at all. Also threaded view is 
working stable now. 
 
Is seems, that the new eleogd.exe uses a litle bit less of system rescources especially in 
theraded view mode. 
 
System specification for test: Pentium 4 2,4GHz, ASUS Motherboard, 480 MB RAM, SWAP File 1,1 
GB, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition 5.2 including all paches until 15.3.04, IIS 6.0, 
Mercure Mail Server 4, McAffee Virus Scan & Firewall, ELOG 2.5.1 with new eleogd.exe runnig 
as service (system righs) with FireDaemon Lite 1.6GE. 
 
Please note that this problem has been occured under windows (reported for XP, 2000, 2003 
Server) only. Windows NT 4.0 is working well without the new eleodg.exe as well.
