[Mldonkey-users] pthread MD4 hashing bug ?

[Lionel Bouton]

Hi,

it seems there's a bug in MD4 hashing when it is done in a separate thread.
Usually I rarely see files going past the 100% downloaded mark. IIRC 
these files had bad chunks that had to be re-downloaded. With a pthread 
enabled 2.02-21, several files at once went past the 100% mark, some 
even hitting 120 to 130% (on 700MB sized files). "Verify chunks" did 
reset the downloaded amount to the real one, but these files went past 
the 100% again.
As I never had these amounts of bad chunks before, I suspected a problem 
in MD4 hashing in a separate thread.
I disabled pthread support, recompiled mldonkey and restarted with the 
new binary. All these downloads reached their end without me witnessing 
an "over 100%" downloaded percentage again.

LB.
