In the past we have stored in our recovery db close to 75,000 messages.  At the time we were VERY concerned about issues resulting from database corruption and the like.

As to the use of SMAT files.  Our production system is 5.8.5 on Windows.  We have our system configured to create daily smat files so each individual tout file  for an…Read more

You state you have 50K messages in your databases. Which one?  Recovery or Error?  It seems your shop needs to adopt some policies regarding the maintenance of these databases.   This would prevent corruption.

Just some random thoughts.

You are correct, this is an OS issue, not a Cloverleaf bug.  Thanks for reminding me.  

However it never does hurt to throw the query out to the community, someone may have solved this behavior previously.
