[Bug-gnupod] Problem over 32946 entries in GNUtunesDB.xml

[Pierre-Marie Gandoin]

Hello and thank you very much for your software !

I use a 6G Classic iPod (160 GB) with Gnupod since about one year without
any problem. But today, updating my content from 25728 to 37986 songs,
after a reboot, the iPod didn't work any longer. The browsing was
impossible and it announced 32946 songs. However, the mktunes output
seemed correct : "... 37986 files parsed, assembling iTunesDB ..."

Now, after truncating the GNUtunesDB.xml file below 32946 entries, the
iPod worked again as usual. Is there some kind of limit over the song
numbers (we are close to 2^15) ?

(Must I subscribe to the mailing list to read your answer ? I don't find 
any clue to do this on the gnupod web page.)

Also, I would like to know if it is possible to have several entries of
the GNUtunesDB.xml pointing on the same file (useful in the case of a
multi-artist song, to access it from each artist). If not, that could be 
the cause of my problem, since this is the first time I do this.

Thank you very much in advance.

P-M. Gandoin
