Hi,

I think I have located the origin of this long-lasting corruption problem.
Here is what I have observed with my application on an XP network:

1/ the program commits to a metakit file located on the network. It's OK.
2/ a process slightly touches the file. It can be as slight as an anti-virus
who scans the file, or a person who checks the properties of the file (e.g 
last modification time), etc...
3/ if the program commits once again, then the file is corrupted !!!

This only happens whith files on a network. I can't explain any more than 
this, but it gives me the shivers to think how fragile my metakit files are 
:(
