[Mldonkey-bugs] [bug #13198] *.ini files ought to be more crash resistant

[Rolf Leggewie]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #13198 (project mldonkey):

I have not yet had the time to test the patch.  Unfortunately, I also failed
to compile MLD.

Anyway, I'd like to comment further on issues I was having.  I use Debian
testing and thus MLD is usually started from /etc/init.d/mldonkey_server. 
Almost all the time after a clean shutdown of the computer, MLD will refuse
to restart on the next reboot.  The most common error seems to be that there
are leftover ~/*.tmp files and MLD dies more or less quietly.  Another thing
that has occurred in the past was that an ~/mlnet.pid file was still around
again preventing a restart.  The problem is that I do not see any output on
the console indicating the problem, neither are there any entries in ~/log. 
Thus I always have to manually start MLD from the command line to get to see
the error messages.  

Error reporting in case things go wrong is definitely something that could be
improved to make troubleshooting easier.
