RE: Large archive conversion problem

["Rangesh Kona" <rkona@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Earl,

After your hint I tried looking into code more closely for close
statements. 

In mhdysub.pl and mhmimetypes.pl after changing close (DIR) to closedir
(DIR ) it worked.

Now I am able to convert large archives with out any problem.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks,
Rangesh
