I just installed OpenAFS for Windows version 1.3.6400 on a fresh Windows
XP install on a Pentium M laptop. I mapped drive Z: to \afs and typed
"afs-root" as its description. I then obtained tokens and went to drive
Z: in Windows Explorer. As soon as I clicked on the one and only folder
named "rcf" contained in Z:, I got this message:
---------------
(title) Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: ... Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program\afsd_service.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must
now be terminated.
[OK]
---------------
It happens reliably whenever I click on that folder. I mapped \afs\rcf
to drive R: and I have no problems accessing everything inside R: (that
I'm allowed to access anyway).
Perhaps there's a bug lurking?
