I suppose this is technically a but that we should all report. Otherwise, unless someone from Apple actually monitors this list, it won't get noticed and fixed. It could be a duplicate of Problem ID 4350008 I filed in Nov 2005 which is still said to be opened. Since then I wrote an open source version of SplitForks (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Source/ Goldin.zip). 18-Nov-2005 02:51 PM Stephane Sudre: I think there's another bug in SplitForks which may explain why some things are not working properly. The "Dreamweaver 8" application (Trial evaluation) is a package and the "Dreamweaver 8" folder has its kHasBundle flag set. As far as I can tell, the correct result of a SplitForks operation for the "Dreamweaver 8" folder shall be: i.e. Folder Info with kHasBundle 0x2000 set and an empty resource fork. (According to the documentation in the Reference Library CD of March 1999). NB: current_dir is the current_working_directory when the command is launched. => Wrong. The resource fork length is said to be 0xe3401000, yet there is NO resource fork. => Wrong. The resource fork length is said to be 0xe1401000, yet there is NO resource fork. => Wrong. The resource fork length is said to be 0xe1601000, yet there is NO resource fork. So I would tend to think that there's a bug in SplitForks. Probably a bad initialized value for the length of the Entry. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
