[Bug 492065] Re: attach file causes 'arith overflow' error

 

I could not reproduce this bug based on the number of files.  However,
the arithmetic overflow problem reported in vm.info arises if there are
very long file names.  That was most likely the problem.  I have
commited a fix for this now.

Cheers,
Uday
