After some troubleshooting in a couple of PCs, I found out that if your history file (setting HistFile) reaches about 500 kb (mine was 536.462 bytes), TCC starts to behave a bit erratically.
Symptoms at my pc were:
The obvious workaround was to delete the history file and start over. This is just a heads up, that there *is* a workaround, and there is also a problem that probably needs to be addressed.
Of course it is entirely possible that there was some problem with my environment, since the results (apart from the very slow startup at least) are not very reproducible in other PCs.
Symptoms at my pc were:
- Very slow startup
- dir and pdir commands would give out corrupted data (usually missing part of the name, or just displaying blanks
- Folders could not be deleted (they were deleted very easily with cmd.exe though)
