Hello,
Yes, I was working from the Branch-7.2 in the repo, and it had a bunch
of later changes. When I backed up to the 7.2.0 release, it is as you say.
The new code in Branch-7.4 does not contain a pointer so the particular
problem you are currently having probably no longer exists. However, I
see from your output that you are running an estimate command. That
command uses a lot of code that is different from the main backup code
as it is only an "estimate" so it is possible that there will be some
problems.
I rewrote large parts of fstype.c (not all) in Branch-7.4, so I
recommend that you start by upgrading to 7.4.0. If the problem still
persists, which should not happen, or another one shows up, please
report it.
Best regards,
Kern
