366	Using certain short file names crashes GTSS	trnsz@…	Eric Swenson	"This is a very weird problem.

Oh GHM, in my home directory, attempting any I/O on certain file names will always crash, for example:

gtss, in >udd>Ring0>JJohnson:
{{{
GTSS 4JS3 (4.0)
*10 REM
*SAVE CRR03
DATA SAVED-CRR03
*SAVE CR03
DATA SAVED-CR03
*SAVE CR02

Error:  bad_area_format condition by gtss_mcfc_$open|1230
(>system_library_unbundled>bound_gcos_tss_)
}}}

CRR03 was fine, CR03 was fine, CR02 crashed.

new_proc, gtss again, trying to use these (existing) names as GTSS did create the CR02 file it crashed on:

{{{
*OLD CRR03
*OLD CR03
*OLD CR02

Error:  bad_area_format condition by gtss_mcfc_$open|1230
(>system_library_unbundled>bound_gcos_tss_)
}}}

Now, using a different directory:

{{{
new_proc
create_dir gtss
cwd gtss
gtss
GTSS 4JS3 (4.0)
*10 REM
*SAVE CRR03
DATA SAVED-CRR03
*SAVE CR03
DATA SAVED-CR03
*SAVE CR02
DATA SAVED-CR02
*OLD CRR03
*OLD CR03
*OLD CR02
*LIST

10 REM


*
}}}

As you can see above, the crash did not happen when using the new directory - it only happens in the home directory.

I have not investigated further."	defect	closed	major	MR12.9	General	MR12.8	worksforme		Eric Swenson
