Re: [Evolution] empty folders after upgrade from 1.2 to 1.4 - SOLVED

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

You loaded FreeBSD you said, what did you come from?

I suspect it was an issue with some binary data in the files.  Although the data is written out endian-ness neutral, some data, such as size_t's and time_t's depend on the sizeof the type.

Now I look at the code, I wonder why I did it that way (other types are not size based on disk) - but its kind of hard to fix now.
