Hello,
For two particular pairs of files, BC 3.2.4 (build 13298) reports that the files differ when I compare their contents using the CRC method and that they match when I compare their contents using the binary method.
One side of each pair of files resides inside a split RAR file and the other side resides on my file system. I've tried this on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Obviously the CRC values cannot differ if the files are identical, as indicated by the results of the binary compare, so I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of what might be going on here.
Regardless of whether I use the CRC or binary method, all the other thousands of files in this particular RAR file are reported by BC to be identical to the corresponding extracted files on the file system. The problem occurs consistently with just the two particular pairs of files.
Unfortunately I cannot provide the files--which belong to a client of mine--for testing. Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.
Thank you.
