Several of my files have been doing this. I really noticed it when I
ran a backup last night and there were many of these errors. It has
also started affecting documents I really care about.
I was wondering if I somehow have compression enabled. I didn't do it
on purpose! :)
I remember reading some comment about lzo being messed up and the
patches not included in mm yet? This is rc1-mm2 so I thought it might
be fixed, but I guess not.
Here is a snippet of a shell session showing the problem. It's a good
thing it didn't affect the OpenOffice format original!
$ cat * >/dev/null
cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument
$ cp URL\ Database\ Design.doc.backup{,.test}
$ cat * >/dev/null
cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument
cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup.test: Invalid argument
$ echo blah >> URL\ Database\ Design.doc.backup.test
$ cat * >/dev/null
cat: URL Database Design.doc.backup: Invalid argument
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 286720 2007-07-31 18:16 URL Database Design.doc.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 286725 2007-08-01 15:48 URL Database Design.doc.backup.test
-rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 154915 2007-07-31 16:53 URL Database Design.odt
-rw-r--r-- 1 lynx users 154915 2007-07-31 18:16 URL Database Design.odt.backup
As you can see, a copy shows the same problem. But adding "blah\n" to
the end makes the problem go away...
