I've never stored executables in blobs so have no personal experience with
it. But I have had many years with IB and although "random" does appear to
be an occurence at first investigation, the final solution has revealed
non-random reasoning. i.e. IB has never been known to me or any of my
colleagues as able to produce randam behaviour. So there must be a reason
somewhere. Binary blobs types are the first thing off the list... I imagine
you have thoroughly debuggged your code? There's no chance the file name is
dependent on something strange or missing path or assumption of current dir
and no full path etc etc...You have ensured that your loadfromfile function
is doing what's expected?
if all this is aOK, then I would next suspect boundary markers.
