-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All,
I've done a preliminary systematic check and here's what I know so far: 1. The issue may be client platform specific. 2. Not all download areas are affected but I still recommend considering the entire system suspect until a complete determination is made. Supporting specific details follow: ======================================================= I'm seeing an issue using Windows 2000 SP4 + Updates and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 and the symptoms are as follows: A. All sampled "*.gz.sig" will not download. B. All sampled "*.gz" files start downloading with the expected file size but the download reaches the expected file size and then continues to a file size much larger than expected. The Mac OS X user who brought the issue to light has different symptoms: a. The sampled "*.gz.sig" will not download. b. The sampled "*.gz" files download with correct size and the MD5 hashes agree with my reference copy. The Mac OS X sample size is likely just a single file. ======================================================= The Windows file download area appears unaffected so far but I have NOT compared ALL files as yet. I. All sampled (4) "*.zip.sig" files download and compare to my reference copies correctly. II. All sampled (4) "*.zip" files download and compare to my reference copies correctly. Although the Windows download area appears unaffected so far I still recommend caution. ======================================================= The Solaris i386 and Mac OS X binary are affected as follows: i. The 8 sampled files "*.gz.sig" will not download. ii. The 8 sampled files "*.gz" files start downloading with the expected file size but the download reaches the expected file size and then continues to a file size much larger than expected. ======================================================= The AIX, HP, SIG and Solaris SPARC download areas are similar to Solaris i386 and Mac OS X areas as follows: There are no "*.gz.sig" files to verify. The 4 sampled files "*.gz" files start downloading with the expected file size but the download reaches the expected file size and then continues to a file size much larger than expected. ======================================================= Best regards, Conrad T.
