my ZLIB job suddenly stops working

[John Kovacich]

I have a job reading thousands of files, of which about 20 percent are zipped.
After unzipping exactly 37 successfully, it fails on ALL further attempts.

I seem to recall, that there was no need to perform a close when unzipping, but
I haven't found the docs which I think I remember on that.

Has anyone experienced this before? Do I need to use unzCloseCurrentFile?
If so, does CurrentFile refer to the zip archive, or each file within it?

Thanks,

When I use zlib to compress a file I always use gzopen to open it and gzclose after I've compressed the data.
Sounds like you might be using a different function, though ...
Best Regards,
Don

I'm using unzOpen to open a zipped archive (I'm extracting).

I added unzCloseCurrentFile, with no effect.

I have moved the files around, changed the files in question, changed
the number of jobs open in the background, and it continues to
stop after 37 files.
