A Cipper 5.2 application uses 5 memo fields in a database.
The database became corrupted if the number of blocks in the *.dbt file exceeded 65535. If we appended a new record, the data were stored in the dbt file in a new block. But to the dbf file were a reference n-65535 written. The pointer to the dbt block seems to be truncated.

The problem is the same with Clipper 87, Clipper 5.1 and 5.2, 5.2e.

Is that a known problem?
Does a patch exists?

Thanks
