DIR /Z Causes Application Error In At Least One Directory

[BitPusher]

In a stand-alone 4NT window in:

TCC 10.00.59 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 59 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3
Registered to Carl Johnson - 1 System License

I get the following Event Viewer Application Error when executing DIR /Z on at least one directory. Works ok on some other directories I tried. I viewed the DESCRIPT.ION file for the directory with LIST thinking there might be a bad record in the file but I don't see anything obvious, although I don't know specifically what to look for that might cause this problem.

This as an addendum to my original post.

I initially forgot that I still have 4NT V6.01.241A (need for FILEWRITEB in some BTMs) and 4NT V8.01.70 installed, so I tried the DIR /Z command in the V10 "problem directory" and the command worked properly in both the above mentioned older 4NT versions.

Not reproducible here. Can you email me the DESCRIPT.ION file for that
directory?

I figured it would be difficult to resolve this problem without the DESCRIPT.ION file, but I was hoping that maybe the exception address would provide a clue. Unfortunately that directory is on a TrueCrypt volume and the DESCRIPT.ION file includes many passwords that I don't want to send. Since I can view the DESCRIPT.ION file with LIST and my text editor I could edit out all the passwords but then the file would be different. I suppose I could change all the passwords in all the different places after sending the file but that would be a hassle.

I think what I'm going to do for now is to create a temporary TrueCrypt volume and move the files one-by-one to the temporary volume and run DIR /Z after each move to hopefully isolate the problem.

Thanks for the reply,
Carl

I need a stack trace, not just a single address (which in this case just
points to a utility function that's called in several hundred places).

Normally if TCC crashes, it creates a TCC.GPF file that has the stack
trace & all of the register values.
