Having had my disk space eaten up by core.nnnn files, I thought I'd investigate. It turns out that the 16Mb files are php ones made by rssposter.php whenever that script tries to read a feed that doesn't exist anymore.
I can reproduce it. In AdminCP / RSS Feeds / Add new RSS feed:
- Make a new feed and enter an invalid feed address such as http://feeds.feedburner.com/autotraderUK
- Press "Preview".
- Vb gives the error: XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 60
- There is a new 16Mb core file in my /forum folder.
PHP: 4.4.8 (cgi)
MySQL: 4.1.22-standard
Any help would be appreciated. I know for the time being I can just delete invalid feeds - but if a feed goes invalid on me the first I find out about it is when the forum goes down because I am out of disk space.
