Hello everyone!

I am having an odd issue with amverify and amrecover and am wondering if anyone can tell me why? Using 2.5.0b2 (upgraded from 2.4.2), the amdump seems to run fine, without any errors in the status e-mail, but I am getting some strange output when running amverify and amrecover.

The amverify problem was solved with this patch from Kevin Till:

The amrecover problem was solved with this patch from John Franks:
