G11 1 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Using the latest public release of EAM on Windows 7 Pro SP1, EAM hangs when I attempt to import a hosts file (from hpHosts). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 81 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 How big is the file you are importing? Does an import of a tiny file work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G11 1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 300282 entries. It worked before with no problems. I just tried to import a small file 2800 entries and that worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 883 Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Does EAM recover after some time, or do you have to restart it (or restart your computer) to get it to respond again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G11 1 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I had to restart computer with the larger hpHosts file (300282 entries). After rebooting the Hosts file was not imported. There was no problems with a small hpHosts file (2800+ entries). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GT500 883 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 There no longer appears to be a download link on the hpHosts downloads page for their full HOSTS file. What exactly did you download/import, and from where? The last full update appears to have been on March 16th, 2018 and can still be obtained on some of the old download mirrors, so I can try to reproduce this with it if necessary.

GT500 883 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 It looks like that's too many hosts for EAM. After about 10 minutes of waiting, it eventually crashed with memory usage around 1 GB. I'll report this to QA along with the memory dump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G11 1 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Okay thanks. I have had no problems with past versions of EAM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 883 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 You're welcome. Hopefully it won't take too long for them to figure out what's wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 883 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 FYI: I just tried this again while trying to get more debug information, and there was no crash this time, so I was able to eventually import the HOSTS file (it's extremely slow): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 81 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Does EAM's memory use climb during the import and then decrease again (eg if it's building a new table while the old one is still there, then removing the old one)? How much real+virtual memory do @GT500 and @G11 have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 883 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 The memory usage of a2start.exe was consistently increasing during adding the HOSTS file contents, and I think that's what led to the crash the first time I tried it. The VM was only assigned 2 GB of RAM. We added sciter support to that dialog in the latest stable version, so that more than likely has something to do with it.

G11 1 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 OK, thanks. I'll wait to see if this is fixed before trying to import the HpHosts lists again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want a workaround, you can switch to the Delayed update feed and then check for updates to downgrade EAM to an older version from before this change, import your HOSTS file, and then switch back to the Stable update feed and check for updates again.
