You have indeed uncovered a bug that needs fixing. It took a while to set up the exact conditions to get the stack dump for analysis, but I can see exactly where and how the problem occurs.
Creating the solution might take a day or two to work out. One simple workaround might be to just comment out the line that removes a custom track bed file in the trash dir when it traps an errAbort, since this is too harsh. We shall tolerate temporary network outages better. I should have more tomorrow afternoon on this. -Galt > Hi, Davide! > > I know that on the hgCustom saved sessions cleaner > was specifically written to NOT remove custom tracks > after failure to open the url. > > I will look into this. > > Davide Cittaro wrote: >> Dears, >> I still have to verify this but it seems that there's a bug in custom track >> handling. >> It happened that some users had hundreds of tracks on a local mirror.
