Replying to my own post, sorry about that.

Basically I've found the problem, created a working version and a new
release should not be far away.


Cheers

Mark



For the keen:



It was one of the :
- sh = va_arg (ptr, USHORT);

to:

+ /* sh = va_arg (ptr, USHORT); */
+ sh = (USHORT) va_arg (ptr, int);

changes in jrd/misc.c



My guess is that the:

STUFF_SHORT (p, sh);

following after these commands may end up pushing the wrong byte, from
the int pair of bytes in one of the three cases it was changed.
