Description Ed Schofield 2005-02-03 11:22:44 UTC 
Running:

$ beagled --fg --debug

produces:

DEBUG: + file:///home/user/dir/My Word Doc.doc

*** (<unknown>:7841): CRITICAL **: file ms-ole.c: line 274 (ms_ole_init):
assertion `!bInitted' failed

for some (but not all) .doc files.
Comment 1 Veerapuram Varadhan 2005-02-04 11:50:42 UTC 
Can you share the .doc file?

A doc file that caused the error

This file was on an NFS share mounted in a subdir of /home/me

This file triggered the bug when indexing with:
 beagled --debug --fg

but a second try with
 beagled --debug

didn't reproduce the failed assertion message in the log file.

Another file that triggers the bug

This file is not a Word doc, merely a text file with the .doc extension.  This
produced the message:

ERROR: Could not open OLE stream /home/schofield/python2.3-2.3.4/Lib/pdb.doc

** (<unknown>:7841): CRITICAL **: file ms-ole.c: line 274 (ms_ole_init):
asserti on `!bInitted' failed
ERROR: /home/schofield/python2.3-2.3.4/Lib/pdb.doc : is password protected

Other plain text files with names ending .doc triggered similar messages.

These files were also on an NFS mount; the debug messages were produced by
running "beagled --debug --fb"
Comment 4 Veerapuram Varadhan 2005-02-10 22:53:24 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.  Thanx for the report. :-)
