I don't think it would be very practical to distribute a 2 GB test file. Though I might be able to get it to a couple people if someone wanted to really study the issue. Though if it is an integer overflow (or something like that), then I would suspect that GZipFile would show corruption most of the time once the files got large enough. For example, it might occur for all files expanding to larger than 2^32 bytes (4 GB). (That's just speculation, I haven't tested it except to note that it failed the very first time I tried to use a file this large.) Perhaps someone familiar with the code could look for places where integers might overflow? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
