Problem seems to be related with ports and or an rouge Peer sending some corrupt data also... the strange thing is only win2k+ is having this problem...




I have noticed two crashes with with Win98(Gateway OEM) since the update to 1.4.2 a few days ago. They seem to have occured after running for an extended period. I had not noticed any problems with the previous version.

That's the error info. that I get when I use the current Gnucleus. I never used to have this problem. I have tried downloading an older version of the software, yet the problem persists. I didn't particularly want the latest version as 'evolve' works funnily. Why is mfc42.dll necessary? It's in the windows/system folder anyway for any app. to use, surely.

Hi,

I've fixed my problem with mfc42.dll. It's not ideal as it stands, though, but it works perfectly (for me, anyway). I simply switched off my firewall protection (Zone Alarm). Hope this helps others or points them in the right direction.

ah - I got it under unusual conditions
 

I finally got this MFC42 error - when I left Gnucleus running after the internet connection dropped with 12 files rotating requesting to refusing hosts overnight. (lots of fast destination unreachable returns - DCC running keeps TCP/IP stack alive but nothing reachable)

WI*** OSR w/DUN 1.3/winsock 2 upgrades, TCP/IP, NetBEUI only, MFC42.DLL v. 6.0.000

Seems that after thousands of cycles of sockets opening & closing in one windoze session a possible slight memory leak ?? (just guessing)


When trying nodes who are refusing - running down the list in the cache, opening & closing alot of sockets (most nodes connect but drop right away or give a shot of hosts then drop) I sometimes get an out of memory error -small box message from Gnucleus not windoze (not a system error) I can click on it & it'll disappear, Gnucleus keeps working (athough the HD thrashes a bit virtual swapfile activity 8.MB physical RAM)

When searching for a stable node connection if I pause it every min or two this never happens, both errors seem to relate to opening & closing alot of sockets quickly, the MFC error in my case rare & unusual (I fell asleep & let the internet connect drop & left Gnucleus re-trying a dozen IP's)

Limiting/pausing/slowing down opening too many sockets totally prevents either error, I can run Gnucleus all night with no error by doing so

(v.1.3.5 - 1.4.x is bigger so I haven't installed it yet)
so it's an on-going bug not something that slipped in recently. It's workable (preventable) and Gnucleus works great - you'd be shocked how well it runs on a 386 !

That means something in my book

Gnucleus clone without MFC42.dll
 

First , I have to say I ' m sad ... I can't use nucleus more than 1 hour .After this period , you know : MFC42.dll blabla !
When swabby gave us URL www.gnucleus.net , I download the clone Oasis.And...Incredible !!! No MFC42.dll crash during 2 days (Never happend before with gnucleus) .And so less freeze !!
Those who can't use another client like me , try it ! It ' s an ersatz .True.But a good one !
PS:Oasis 1.0.0b use same MFC42.dll on my PC.
