So I was just working on Another Halo Victory and I came across a peculiar setback. I couldn't start Dreamweaver. The splash page would appear for thirty seconds or so and then the whole program would shut down and disappear without any notice. No error screens, no sign whatsoever as to what was going on. Frustrated, I turned off my computer and watched a little Back to the Future II. Deciding I actually wanted to get some work done so late at night I jumped back in the saddle and tried to figure out exactly what was going on.

After a little Googling, I was able to find a few accounts from others that mentioned the same problem. After reading a few posts in forums I decided to try and see what was happening as Dreamweaver disappeared and I was able to discern that it had gotten as far as the 'Loading Site Cache ..' before it called it quits.

Turns out that there is a peculiar bug in Dreamweaver that causes some sort of fatal error when any file of the exact size of 8,192 bytes. One byte more or less and there is no problem. So I decided to go see if the CSS file I had open recently and had been working on was that particular size. It wasn't. So, it was a no go. Then it struck me, the file size was 32,768-- a multiple of 8,192 and 4. What are the odds? After typing in 32,763 bytes worth of info, the last 5 I added were just enough to ruin Dreamweaver.

I'm just amazed at the odds. I mean, 8,192 seems like a very particular number and really, an improbable one to save a file as, much less 32,768.

So now you all know that this bug exists and does exist in multiples. Good luck with it and I hope it doesn't cause anyone too much stress.
