Today is not a good day for dreamweaver to die.
I discovered this morning that due to the date/time change over the weekend dreamweaver crashes on opening certain files. primarily files that contain asp/vbscript code that includes server behaviors.
This is incredibly frustrating, my searches have revealed no official response from Adobe. I trust they are aware of the problem and are busting their balls to provide a fix.
If anyone is interested my debug console pointed to this location in the Assembly >>[00ADAB57 F6863604000004 test byte ptr [esi+$00000436],$04]. forgive me my assembly knowledge is almost non existant but this looks like a test(comparison) of some values is taking place here. one value appears at least to me to be a pointer to a memory location. i’m going to put my money on that location has become invalid for some reason and thus we have our AV.
so why does the date effect this Jason? good question, reader! the answer is simply that I have no idea. I’ll take a punt at a guess though and wager that dreamweaver CS3 performs some algorythm while executing an undefined function or procedure. In this algorythm the date is possibly used to provide a unique value to work against. Any thoughts on this?
Have fun.
