Lately I've had serious problems with utod. Perhaps related?

What happens for me is WINDOZE puts up BSOD or just reboot without
warning. The main problem is I've not found any easy way to reproduce
it. If I after the reboot try to run the command again it works fine.

I run the bleeding edge from CVS, plus Charles' stub correction, my
append fixes and Eli's NT-crash workaround. Ordinary version of the
tools from precompiled .ZIPs except fileutils which is recompiled with
with the latest libc. Note that utod comes from CVS so it's the
bleeding edge.

This started to appear after the NT-crash workaround but I hadn't had
the need to use utod until recently so I don't particularly suspect
that patch.

Isn't the command you should use "rm -f @bnu210b.mft"?


Right,
