i also occasionally coming through this bug, especially in 6.4.0. i
don't reported it, though, because it's hard to reproduce - my program
fails sometimes collecting information about ALL 250k files on my
computer, so to reproduce this bug i need to send you the whole file
tree :(. at least i know that this bug comes more often when i often
calls performGC. you can try to use this fact in order to spot bug
easier. i will also try. is using 6.4.1 ok, or it need to be spotted on
the latest STABLE build?
