Summary: Outlook/ZipMagic Incompatibility

Initial Comment:
I use ZipMagic to handle Zip files under Win2K.

If I turn zipmagic on, it permanently crashes 
SpamBayes with the following logfile message:

Addin terminating: 2 COM client and 2 COM servers 
exist.

Please read the comments more closely.  The fix has been
made for inclusion in the *1.1 version* of SpamBayes.

There are no immediate plans to backport this fix to the 1.0
version.  However, we do intend to put out a maintenance
release of 1.0 at some point and we will make a
determination on which changes from the 1.1 version should
be included in that maintenance release.

Verision 1.0 still has this issue. Spam Bayes fails completely, 
and must be uninstalled/reinstalled to work again.

It still doesn't work on version 1.0. If zipfolders are turned 
on while Outlook is running, spambayes has to be 
uninstalled/ reinstalled to get it to work again.

This has been fixed in latest CVS.  Changes will probably not 
appear in the binary installer until the first 1.1 alpha release.

Yes, I have seen the same message as in bug #941639, but 
in the previous version. I did not see this message anywhere 
this time.

What may be the difference is that I usually leave ZipMagic 
off, and turn it on only to create a .ZIP file.

The attached logfile shows a perfectly normal execution of 
SpamBayes, ending with a normal exit from SpamBayes when 
Outlook is closed.  What is the error that you are seeing?  
Does it happen when you first start Outlook with ZipMagic's 
ZipFolders enabled?  What happens if you disable ZipFolders 
before loading Outlook, and then reenable after Outlook and 
SpamBayes are loaded and running?  The logfile you uploaded 
is "spambayes4.log".  There should be 3 more recent logfiles 
named "spambayes1.log", "spambayes2.log", 
and "spambayes3.log".  Can you find those?

Please refer to bug #941639.  It sounds like you are getting 
further than the user who submitted that bug, but maybe the 
logfile you uploaded was generated when ZipFolders was 
disabled?  Do any of the symptons there sound at all familiar?

Windows XP has a shell extension that will allow you to see 
the contents of a zip file in a "folder-like" view, but unlike 
ZipMagic it does not make the zip file look like a normal folder 
to other programs that directly access the file system.

I have attached the logfile, but the message I posted is the 
only thing that looks like an error

The most likely reason for the crash is that the zip 
file "spambayes.zip" (or any other zip file used by 
spambayes) becomes a folder when zipmagic is activated.

A similar feature is actually included with windows XP.

The logfile message you show is a normal message that is 
written to the logfile whenever you exit Outlook, so it's 
difficult to guess where the problem is.  Are there any 
tracebacks or other error messages earlier in the logfile?  It 
would be helpful if you could attach your complete logfile to 
this bug report.
