OK i've done as Mathieu suggested and used the '-maxsize' to
increase the capacity of the array to 1e+009. I have no idea what
this means but the patch works so i'm not too bothered for now.
Thanks for all the replies gentlemen.1e+9 (with or without any zeroes after the +) means 1 multiplied 9
times by 10. that's 1*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 = 1000000000, which
is what traditionally the americans call a «billion», the brits call
a «thousand million» and the french call a «milliard», and the
scientists call a «giga»... or a 1e+9.You can't put much bigger numbers in there because of the overflow.
In 32-bit mode, maxsize has a maximum value a bit above 2.1e+9, but
[soundfiler] does not check directly for this condition... it's an
unreported bug.
You could report it...
